He kept his place for the next game, when we faced Nottingham Forest, but was taken off at half time.<\/p>\n<h2>Chelsea to be without tallest central defender<\/h2>\n<p>Despite the fact that Tosin did well in the last round, this shouldn\u2019t be an issue for Chelsea. Levi Colwill should be fit to play this game, and Wesley Fofana is liek<\/p>\n<p>It wouldn\u2019t have been impossible that we saw Tosin, but that would likely have been more as a late sub or even chucked on up top if we were chasing a goal with no attackers left on the bench.<\/p>\n<p>His potential absence shouldn\u2019t affect us at all.<\/p>\n<h2>In other news\u2026<\/h2>\n<p>Sam Kerr has the chance to do something amazing tomorrow afternoon in her final game before leaving Chelsea.<\/p>\n<p>Barcelona are showing an interest in Chelsea striker Joao Pedro, and their sporting director is apparently in London for a meeting about a potential transfer.<\/p>\n<p><strong>DOWNLOAD THE OFFICIAL CHELSEA NEWS APP FOR ALL THE LATEST UPDATES \u2013 STRAIGHT TO YOUR PHONE!
