Trevoh Chalobah thrust into second homecoming

The speed of Trevoh Chalobah’s return to Chelsea first team was so blisteringly swift.

That the recalled loanee didn’t even make the matchday programme for the visit of Wolves.

Maresca insisted that Chalobah, who spent almost two decades coming through the Blues academy, only joined Crystal Palace this summer to adhere to the club’s financial fair play demands. After a glut of defensive injuries, “the best solution was to bring Trev back,” as the Italian explained.

Chelsea set STUNNING Trevoh Chalobah transfer stance

The 25-year-old sent on a season-long loan to Selhurst Park in August. But Chelsea have now recalled him to the club following injuries to Wesley Fofana and Benoit Badiashile.

Chalobah is in line to play a key role at Stamford Bridge over the next few months, however Chelsea haven’t ruled out a sale if they receive an acceptable offer.

Axel Disasi has been tipped to แทงบอล UFABET ราคาดีที่สุด ไม่มีขั้นต่ำ leave west London following Chalobah’s return and the Englishman is expected to challenge Josh Acheampong and Tosin Adarabioyo for a starting berth at Chelsea until Fofana returns from injury.

The cheer for Chalobah’s first challenge on Monday boomed around Stamford Bridge, giving way to a spontaneous burst of the returning defender’s name. The 25-year-old made so many subsequent interventions that the shouts of approval were no longer solely sentimental but entirely deserved.

It was almost a fairytale return for Chalobah, whose header was bouncing beyond Sa and over the line before Madueke got his headband on the ball.
