Silva to address the crowd after his final game?
Stamford Bridge is sure to be an emotional place on Sunday as Chelsea fans say farewell to a legend and one of the best defenders to play the game.
The veteran Brazilian has formed a special relationship with supporters and he and his family have fully encapsulated everything it means to play for Chelsea.
Thiago Silva will play his final game for Chelsea on Sunday.
Silva, who was on the bench for the win against Brighton is expected to be restored to the starting line-up against the Cherries, and is reportedly going to be made captain for his final game.
There are believed to be a number of plans in place for Silva on the final day, and journalist Kieran Gill has now revealed Silva could address the fans on the pitch at full time.
He took to X and said:

He will hope to help Chelsea finish sixth in his final act for the club and secure Europa League football for next season.
