Chelsea player suffers a major injury setback

Chelsea is set to be without a key defender in the squad until January 2024, as the youngster reportedly suffered a major injury.

According to reports, Trevoh Chalobah, who was poised for a departure from Chelsea in January 2024 with interests from top clubs such as Tottenham, Bayern Munich, and Borussia Dortmund, has suffered another injury that will leave him out of action till January 2024.

Media outlets also report that the interest of these top clubs in the defender might not turn to a move for the player as these clubs have expressed concerns over his injury challenges.

Sky Sports reports, "Bayern Munich remain interested in the 24-year-old but a move in the New Year would present a risk for both the player and a new club, making it more likely at this stage that he will stay at least for the rest of the season. Spurs wanted to sign another new centre-back in the summer following the capture of Micky van de Ven and that desire has only intensified following the hamstring injury that will keep the Dutchman out into the New Year. Although there is a preference for another left-footer, it is not a deal-breaker - and the club are lining up targets that are either footed."

Trevoh Chalobah has not featured in any match for Chelsea since the commencement of the 2023/2024 season, as he has been sidelined for over six months due to injury. The player has also been missing from the spotlight for some time in what many believe was him working his way back to match fitness.
