“Told Chelsea are” – Matt Law provides Trevoh Chalobah injury update

Chelsea remain in the dark over the full extent of Trevoh Chalobah’s injury after the defender was stretchered off during Tuesday night’s 3-0 home defeat to Paris Saint-Germain, Telegraph journalist Matt Law has confirmed.

The 26-year-old centre-back went down in the second half at Stamford Bridge and left the pitch on a stretcher, prompting immediate concern over his availability for the run-in. Interim head coach Liam Rosenior addressed the incident post-match but stopped short of offering a recovery timeline, admitting he was awaiting medical updates.

Law reports that the club’s medical staff have conducted scans but results are still pending. “Told Chelsea are still waiting on the results of a scan to determine the severity of Trevoh Chalobah’s injury,” Law posted. “There was optimism last night and this morning that it wasn’t as bad as feared, but yet to receive confirmation from a scan.”

Chalobah is almost certain to miss Saturday’s Premier League trip to Everton, leaving Rosenior with limited options at centre-back. The academy graduate has featured 41 times across all competitions this term and formed the club’s most consistent partnership alongside Wesley Fofana. With only eight league fixtures remaining, any prolonged absence would jeopardise Chelsea’s push for a top-five finish and Champions League qualification.

Defensive frailty has undermined the Blues for much of the campaign, and the potential loss of Chalobah highlights the need for reinforcements. Levi Colwill’s return from injury is eagerly anticipated, while the futures of Tosin Adarabioyo and Benoît Badiashile are uncertain. Both Chalobah and Adarabioyo will have just two years remaining on their contracts this summer, adding urgency to the club’s recruitment plans.

Chelsea explored bolstering their back line in January, targeting France U-21 international Jérémy Jacquet, but lost out to Liverpool. Nottingham Forest’s Murillo has since emerged as a reported target as the hierarchy prepare for another overhaul of the defensive roster.
