BREAKING: Chelsea handed another huge injury worry after Levi Colwill blow

Chelsea have been handed another potentially major blow at centre-back after Trevoh Chalobah was taken off with a possible injury during their pre-season friendly against AC Milan. The Englishman went down after a collision and was unable to continue.

Enzo Maresca has already seen his defensive options take a hit with Levi Colwill set to miss the majority of the 2025/26 season due to a serious knee injury that required surgery to fix. Upon his exit from the game, the 26-year-old was spotted limping round to the bench.

Also losing Chalobah so close to the start of the new campaign will almost certainly result in a new defender being targeted with Maresca suggesting as such even when it was only Colwill that would be unavilable.

"It's a priority that we strengthen the defence," he boldly admitted after Chelsea's 2-0 win vs Bayer Leverkusen. "This is because Levi is a fantastic player. What we achieved last season is because of him. He's played all the games with me, I love him, we're going to miss him."

This is a breaking story. We will have more information as and when it develops
