Trevoh Chalobah has rejoined Chelsea following the club’s decision to recall him from his loan at Crystal Palace. This move comes as Chelsea faces defensive challenges due to injuries to key players like Wesley Fofana and Benoit Badiashile. Chalobah’s return is timely, as he has been working diligently on his recovery from a hamstring injury sustained in mid-October. After an initial setback during his first full training session back, he dedicated four months to rehabilitation and rejoined the first-team group at the start of January.
Chelsea’s next match is scheduled for Monday, January 20, 2025, against Wolverhampton Wanderers. Given the current defensive injuries, Chalobah’s availability could be crucial. His versatility allows him to play both as a center-back and a right-back, providing valuable options for head coach Enzo Maresca. While it’s not confirmed whether Chalobah will start on Monday, his recent return to full training and the team’s defensive needs suggest he could feature in the lineup.
