Chelsea will reportedly be ready to explore the market for a potential signing in central defence this summer in case the injury to Wesley Fofana proves serious and keeps him out for a long time.
This is according to Fabrizio Romano, speaking on his YouTube channel, with the reporter explaining that although there’s nothing advanced in that department right now, it could be an option for the Blues if they fear Fofana will end up being out for a lengthy period.
Chelsea signed Fofana from Leicester City last summer and this isn’t the first time he’s had some fitness issues, but there’s no doubt he’s a top player on his day and everyone at the club will be crossing their fingers that he can return as soon as possible.
Chelsea already have Thiago Silva, Benoit Badiashile and Levi Colwill as options at centre-back, but they could perhaps do with ensuring they have cover for Fofana if he misses several weeks or months of the season.
Colwill is another player whose future has been in some doubt, but Romano has insisted that he’s still not for sale.
What about Trevoh Chalobah. Don’t need another centre back.
Exactly
Good day we don’t need to decieve ourselves we have no defense the only defender and tasted we have in the center back is Sylvia and he is old I’m sure 😃 this should be his last season,so the rest of chaloba and lewis are gamble okay but I can say lewis can be assured so !! Now we need a defensive 5 not see and sell chahaloba he has been there too long Like Odio never improved but average we need a world class so unfortunate we failed with fofana which was a wasted money 🤑 invested, And in the wing back 3 chilwell Good though injury also and Hall or matesan but cucurrrel is a wasted investment so are the moment!! We have great concerns sell cucurrrel Now!! Then right back Gasto great and James,also James is not consistent you see where we have problems offload the back 3 of cucurrrel leave lewis Hall and martesen!! Center 5 get a great defender sell chahaloba finish let’s move and get a standing midfield Like caciedo and attacking options because noni can’t score mudrky the same not even improved!! We have a problem CFC
