Chelsea Defender Colwill Out After ACL Surgery

News summary

Chelsea defender Levi Colwill is set to miss most of the 2025-26 season after undergoing surgery for a torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) sustained during pre-season training. The 22-year-old England international, a key player in Chelsea's defense last season, made 35 Premier League starts and contributed to the team's victories in the UEFA Conference League and Club World Cup. Recovery from ACL injuries typically takes six to nine months, meaning Colwill will likely be sidelined until 2026. Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca acknowledged the significant loss and indicated the club might seek reinforcements in the transfer market. The club has committed to supporting Colwill throughout his rehabilitation at their Cobham training facility. Despite this setback, Chelsea aims to leverage its squad depth as they prepare for their upcoming Champions League campaign and Premier League opener against Crystal Palace.
