Chelsea are considering removing defender Trevoh Chalobah from his squad debt and Crystal Palace to support their defensive issues.
Benoit Badiashile and Wesley Fofana were both sidelined by long-term injuries, though asked what governor Enzo Maresca believes that he can be out all season.
Maresca’s limited options saw him turn to 18-year-old Josh Acheampong, who he looked in the direction of the Palace could not play Chalobah at the weekend.
It has already been said that ChelseaThe loan agreement with Palace does not include a break clause, but The Athletic now give it another go and say that the Blues are considering bringing in Chalobah this month.
Chelsea already did they brought in summer signing Aaron Anselmino to repay his loan and Boca Juniors to strengthen the backline and could do the same with Chalobah, who has impressed with Oliver Glasner in south London this season.
The key to the Blues’ thinking may be Chalobah’s versatility. Although a natural full-back, the 25-year-old has plenty of experience at right-back and centre-back, meaning he can play multiple roles in Maresca’s fluid setup.
Bringing Chalobah to Stamford Bridge would be as important as the student was He was frozen out of the team in the pre-season as part of the plan to sell him to benefit under the pressure of PSR, to strip him of his team number and send him to train with the famous ‘bomb squad’, before the loan comes to Palace at the end of the summer transfer window.
This decision was met with real controversy, because Chalobah fell in love with the team. The 25-year-old played a central role in the second half of last season under former boss Mauricio Pochettino and was a key part of Chelsea’s rise from 11th to 6th in the Premier League.
Chelsea signed Tosin Adarabioyo on a free transfer in the summer and the former Fulham man, along with Axel Disasi, pushed Chalobah down before Palace gave him the chance to resume his career.
