CHELSEA star Thiago Silva has turned handyman while out injured.
The 38-year-old was ruled out for up to six weeks after suffering a knee injury in the Blues’ 2-0 defeat to Tottenham last month.

Silva has remained a visible presence at Stamford Bridge throughout his lay-off, supporting his team-mates from the stands.
And he has also been productive at home during his time on the sidelines.
The centre-back’s wife Isabelle shared a video of her husband up a ladder at home.
Silva laughed as he realised he was being filmed, donning a puffer jacket as he did some work on the house.
Isabelle wrote in Portuguese: “He stays at home and the bug from “bob the builder” bites.”
Silva’s wife is his biggest fan… but has never been shy in criticising his Chelsea team-mates and coaches.
She recently liked a tweet labelling Graham Potter a “deadbeat coach”.
While last season she was claimed to have branded struggling forward Timo Werner a “verme” – meaning “maggot” in Portuguese.

Silva married Isabelle in 2015 and the couple have two sons together, named Isago and Iago.
After his transfer to Chelsea in 2020, the family all moved to London.
He has gone on to win the Champions League, Uefa Super Club and Fifa Club World Cup since joining the Blues.
Silva is currently nursing a knee injury sustained against Tottenham
