Chelsea midfielder Tiemoue Bakayoko is okay, having not suffered any injuries in a minor car crash on his way home from the team’s training session Wednesday.
Teammate and forward Michy Batshuayi was asked by a Twitter user if Bakayoko was okay, after post crash images of the summer transfer window addition’s SUV emerged online. Those pictures showed the Mercedes in bushes, with a smashed windshield.
Batshuyai assured the user that Bakayoko is “all good bro.”
All good bro !

For a further official confirmation, a statement from Surrey Police confirmed the incident, and it read as follows:
“Surrey Police attended Blundel Lane in Oxshot around 4.40pm following a one vehicle collision. The driver did not suffer any injuries. There were delays for drivers while the vehicle awaited recovery.”
Bakayoko is a 23-year-old France international who moved over from Monaco this summer. He’s made four appearances for Chelsea this season, accumulating two shots.
He had a goal and an assist in Chelsea’s 6-0 rout over FK Qarabag in the UEFA Champions League group stages.
