Enzo Maresca Urges Chelsea To Sign New Defender As Colwill Faces Lengthy Layoff
Enzo Maresca, a former Chelsea player, has urged the club to sign a new defender as Levi Colwill faces a lengthy layoff due to an ACL injury. Colwill, 22, underwent surgery for the injury and is set to miss the majority of the season.
Maresca emphasized Colwill's importance in the team's defense and attack, highlighting his role in Chelsea's success last season. The injury to Wesley Fofana and Benoît Badiashile further complicates the situation, with new signing Jorrel Hato yet to make a significant impact.
Chelsea has tested youngsters like Josh Acheampong and Trevoh Chalobah in matches against Bayer Leverkusen and AC Milan. The club is also linked to former academy graduate Marc Guehi from Crystal Palace, while prioritizing moves for attacking reinforcements like Manchester United's Alejandro Garnacho and RB Leipzig's Xavi Simons.
