Thiago Silva has admitted Chelsea's players did not expect Jorginho to leave after the Italian joined Arsenal on deadline day.
The Italian midfielder's £12m move to the Premier League leaders was confirmed on Tuesday.
Silva outlined his disappointment at his former colleague's decision but insisted 'it happens' in football.
Brazilian stalwart Silva, one of Chelsea's biggest dressing room leaders, is confident Graham Potter's side will move on given their own huge spending, but admitted other players will have to 'make up for his absence'.
'It was for a direct competitor, but these are football things, it happens,' Silva told ESPN Brasil.
