In a setback for Chelsea, young talent Levi Colwill was forced out of the starting XI against Aston Villa in the FA Cup fourth-round tie after experiencing discomfort during the pre-match warm-up. The 20-year-old was swiftly replaced by Alfie Gilchrist as the Blues faced Unai Emery’s side at Stamford Bridge.
This injury adds to Chelsea’s mounting woes, with Colwill now joining a growing list of sidelined players, including captain Reece James, Wesley Fofana, Romeo Lavia, Christopher Nkunku, Robert Sanchez, Nicolas Jackson, and others.
With the FA Cup clash behind them, Chelsea looks ahead to a challenging Premier League fixture against table-topping Liverpool at Anfield on Wednesday. The extent of Colwill’s injury remains uncertain, leaving fans in suspense about his availability for the upcoming crucial encounter.
Chelsea, already grappling with a string of injuries this season, finds themselves in a precarious situation as they strive to maintain their competitive edge in both domestic and cup competitions.
