Many were shocked when Chelsea gave up on their child, Trevoh Chalobah, sending him on a season-long loan to Crystal Palace. However, at Stamford Bridge, they evaluated that the competition in the defensive line was too fierce and that there was no place for the 25-year-old born in Sierra Leone.Nevertheless, apart from facing a crisis in terms of results, the Blues have serious issues with numerous injuries in defence, as Enzo Maresca currently cannot count on Benoit Badiashile and Wesley Fofana, who’ll be sidelined for a longer period.Ligue 1 giants target Chelsea’s Badiashile and Arsenal’s KiwiorThe Italian currently has Axel Disasi, Tosin Adarabioyo, and Levi Colwill at his disposal, as well as the 18-year-old Josh Acheampong, who noted his first start with the Blues in a 1-1 draw with Crystal Palace two days ago. Still, they are not enough, considering that Chelsea compete in the UEFA Conference League in addition to the Premier League and the domestic cups.For me we have to recall Trevoh Chalobah. pic.twitter.com/uTH3v1qtFO— Frank Khalid OBE (@FrankKhalidUK) January 6, 2025 Hence, they are reportedly considering recalling Chalobah from his loan at Selhurst Park to increase squad depth, which is of the utmost importance for Maresca at the moment. Since he moved to the Eagles’ ranks, the defender has played exceptionally well, making 14 appearances and scoring as many as three goals.ENGLISH PREMIER LEAGUE – MATCHDAY 20Saturday Tottenham – Newcastle 1-2 (1-2)/Solanke 4 – Gordon 6, Isak 38/Aston Villa – Leicester 2-1 (0-0)/Barkley 58, Bailey 76 – Mavididi 63/Bournemouth – Everton 1-0 (0-0)/Brooks 77/Crystal Palace – Chelsea 1-1 (0-1)/Mateta 82 – Cole 14/Man.City – West Ham 4-1 (2-0)/Coufal (og) 10, Haaland 42, 55, Foden 58 – Fullkrug 71/Southampton – Brentford 0-5 (0-1)/Schade 6, Mbuemo 62, 69, Wissa 90+2, Lewis Potter 90+5/Brighton – Arsenal 1-1 (0-1)/Pedro (p) 61 – Nwaneri 16/Sunday Fulham – Ipswich 2-2 (0-1)/Jimenez 69 pen, 90+1 pen – Szmodics 38, Delap 71 pen/Liverpool – Man.Utd. 2-2 (0-0)/Gakpo 59, Salah 70 pen – Martinez 52, Diallo 80/Monday23.00: (3.20) Wolverhampton (3.30) Nott.Forest (2.30)***odds are subject to change***
