Chelsea veteran Thiago Silva's wife, Belle, has apologised for her most recent social media comments about the club.

Silva's wife has often been passionate about his career and the performances of his teams.

However, she appeared to overstep the mark at the weekend, calling for the club to sack coach Mauricio Pochettino.

Belle said on X: "I'm sorry that my personal outburst as a passionate Chelsea fan has caused such an impact.

“I'm passionate about the team, I thrive on victories and I'm saddened by defeats.

“We all want the same thing, a winning team, come on Chelsea!!"
