TA: Chelsea is not in a hurry to find a replacement for Colville, think Buddy/Achimpon is enough

Hupu August 12th News TheAthleticUK ace reporter David Ornstein updated this week's weekly report, the following is the Chelsea part.

What are the consequences of Colville's injury?

There is no panic inside Chelsea, and Chelsea is not in a hurry to find his replacement in the summer transfer market.

This is why they have accumulated such a deep squad over the past two and a half years; even if Colville is out, Chelsea still has as many as 10 first-team players competing for four defensive positions.

Maresca trusts Trevo Chaloba and Tocin Adarabiojo, and Wesley Fofana is about to fully recover. Jorell Harto, who signed in the summer, is also capable of being a centre-back and left-back.

In January 2023, Badiasheller transferred from Monaco, when he was considered to be of equal strength and very similar in type.

Achimpon won Maresca's favor in the English Football Association League last season, and it looks like he is ready to take on greater responsibilities.

and Aaron Anselmino, who specializes in the Boca youth as a central defender when he is in possession of the ball at three defenders, may stay in the team this season if Maresca thinks he is ready.

Chelsea is confident in their other options, and Colville's unfortunate injury may be the opportunity one of his teammates has been waiting for.
