Overview

• Levi Colwill underwent successful reconstructive surgery on his torn anterior cruciate ligament at Cobham.
• The defender faces a nine-to-twelve-month recovery, ruling him out for the majority of Chelsea’s 2025/26 campaign.
• Last season Colwill started 35 of 38 Premier League matches and played a pivotal role in securing Champions League qualification.
• Chelsea have already signed left-sided centre-back Jorrel Hato and are set to welcome Wesley Fofana back from hamstring surgery to bolster their defence.
• The club is evaluating further defensive signings to mitigate the impact of Colwill’s extended absence.
