Chelsea’s injury concerns deepened during their clash with Aston Villa as Trevoh Chalobah was forced off due to an apparent injury. The defender, who has struggled with fitness issues in recent months, had to be substituted, with summer signing Tosin Adarabioyo coming on in his place.

This setback adds to Enzo Maresca’s growing defensive worries, with Chelsea already managing multiple injury concerns in the squad. Chalobah’s fitness issues have limited his involvement this season, and his latest setback could further complicate Maresca’s plans as Chelsea fight for consistency.

The severity of Chalobah’s injury remains unclear, but the Blues will be hoping for a quick recovery, especially with a demanding fixture schedule ahead. His absence could see Adarabioyo or Axel Disasi play a bigger role in the coming weeks as Chelsea look to maintain defensive solidity.
