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.

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.
