Chelsea head coach Enzo Maresca stated that the team needs to address the issue of a central defender to mitigate the effects of the cruciate ligament injury to Levai Colwill.
“You know how important Levai was for us last season, considering how we want to play. We have said many times that we are capable of creating moments and attacking correctly if we focus on building the attack properly. Levai played a huge role in this aspect of the game in the initial phase, but now he is out.
We are trying to find solutions within the club, but the club knows well what I think. Let’s see what comes of this. I believe we need a central defender.
We have a fantastic squad. We are satisfied with the lineup. But we have said many times that when the transfer window is open, anything can happen,” quotes Maresca the Chelsea press service.
