We need to be careful. Benoit and Mamadou didn\u2019t make the squad \u2013 we can use them in the next two games potentially. We have a lot of players in their position.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n The fact that two central defenders at a time are being left out of the squad shows what a glut we\u2019ve got in that position following Levi Colwill\u2019s return to fitness. It\u2019s a sure sign that a couple of sales will be made in the summer.<\/p>\n Reece James has been trying to rally the troops after a disappointing result on Saturday.<\/p>\n Chelsea are considering signing Lewis Hall as a left back option this summer according to an exclusive from our writer Simon Phillips.<\/p>\n DOWNLOAD THE OFFICIAL CHELSEA NEWS APP FOR ALL THE LATEST UPDATES \u2013 STRAIGHT TO YOUR PHONE!
