Enzo Maresca faces crucial decisions as Chelsea prepare to take on Wolverhampton Wanderers on Monday. The Blues could be without several key players, including Cole Palmer, Levi Colwill, Enzo Fernandez and Romeo Lavia, after the quartet missed Friday’s training due to minor injuries.
The defensive situation is particularly precarious. With Wesley Fofana and Benoit Badiashile sidelined, and Axel Disasi potentially leaving this month, Chelsea may need to find a new solution at left centre-back, especially if Colwill is unavailable.
While Trevoh Chalobah, recently recalled from Crystal Palace, is an option, 21-year-old Portuguese defender Renato Veiga could also be a surprising yet effective alternative. Veiga has expressed his desire to transition to central defence, even considering leaving Chelsea earlier this month to fulfill that ambition.
Standing at 6’3” and being left-footed like Colwill, Veiga has the physical and technical attributes to step into the role. An opportunity to start in his preferred position could not only address Chelsea’s immediate defensive needs but also unlock Veiga’s potential as a long-term competitior for Colwill.
Maresca granting Veiga his wish against Wolves might just be a win-win scenario, saving Chelsea millions in the transfer market by developing an in-house solution.
