Chelsea will play against Liverpool in the next round of the Premier League. Reporter Bobby Vincent reported that Chelsea is facing an absolute defense crisis.
Chelsea, Charoba will be absent due to suspension, Tosin is injured due to calf problems, and Fofana needs to comply with the concussion protocol and cannot play, and Colville is still in a long-term injury. This means Chelsea has only three players left to choose from in the first-team central defender position.
The three central defenders currently available are Achimpon, Hato and Badiacile. Among them, Achimpon and Harto have only five Premier League start experience together, while Badiacile made a brief comeback against Brighton after being absent for three months.
