Club hit by injuries to centre-backs Badiashile and FofanaThe 25-year-old reportedly wants to stay at Selhurst Park
Chelsea could solve their selection problems in defence by cutting short Trevoh Chalobah’s loan at Crystal Palace. Enzo Maresca attempted to strengthen at centre-back last summer and the issue is back on the table after hamstring injuries to Benoît Badiashile and Wesley Fofana, who could miss the rest of the season.
No decision has been made and Chelsea still have good depth in defence. Maresca’s senior centre-backs include Axel Disasi, Tosin Adarabioyo and Levi Colwill, who had formed a strong partnership with Fofana before the Frenchman’s latest setback. Alternatives include Josh Acheampong, who made his first league start in Saturday’s 1-1 draw with Palace, and Aaron Anselmino after the Argentinian teenager’s recall from his loan at Boca Juniors.
