Chelsea’s plans for Levi Colwill with defender hoping to play soon

Anyone hoping to see him feature in next Monday’s Premier League clash against Nottingham Forest is likely to be left feeling disappointed, though.

Reece James and Levi Colwill watched on as Chelsea lost a fourth consecutive Premier League game against Manchester United! Where would the Blues be if they stayed fit? 🤔

Top five?

Chelsea plan to take their time with Levi Colwill

According to The Sun, Colwill is hoping to make an appearance with the first team before the season ends.

Chelsea have an FA Cup final against Manchester City to play and are battling it out with several teams for a European spot.

Colwill will want to be a part of that, but The Sun’s report says there is an expectation that Chelsea will take their time with Colwill.

It means that in the meantime, Calum McFarlane will have to continue using the likes of Trevoh Chalobah and Tosin Adarabioyo.

Adarabioyo has received a lot of criticism from Chelsea supporters this season, but he was excellent for the Club World Cup winners in their 1-0 FA Cup semi-final win against Leeds United last weekend.

Adarabioyo repaid the faith shown in him by McFarlane, who brought the 28-year-old in to combat Leeds’ aerial threat.

Tosin Adarabioyo gets too much hate!

Had Dominic Calvert-Lewin in his back pocket 💪

No need for Chelsea to take any risks with Levi Colwill

Chelsea may be in the FA Cup final, but winning that trophy was never the priority. The aim was to qualify for the Champions League and finish closer to the top two.

Ultimately, with this season becoming a bit of a write-off, it would be silly to risk Colwill. The club should do everything it can to get the England international fit and ready for the 2026/27 campaign.

It will be a fresh start for Chelsea, who will be hoping to have a much better season with Colwill in the side. Who will be in charge remains to be seen.
