Chelsea are reportedly not considering buying another centre back to cover for the injured Levi Colwill, instead putting faith in one of the club’s new recruits.
Colwill’s 2025–26 campaign was derailed before Chelsea’s first pre-season friendly of the summer. The England international damaged his anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) during training and underwent surgery this week. If Colwill returns at all, it will not be until the latter stages of the season when he will likely be gently eased back into first-team action.
