Enzo Maresca’s Chelsea who recently won the FIFA Club World Cup 2025 competition are now in a bit of stress as one of their main defenders is out for the majority of the upcoming season. Chelsea’s defender Levi Colwill has suffered an ACL Injury and will be out for nearly half of the season (2025/26). The centre-back has completed his surgery in London and the rehabilitation has officially started.
Chelsea have been dealt a major setback with the news that key defender Levi Colwill will be sidelined for nearly half of the 2025/26 season.
The 22-year-old centre-back has suffered an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury, a serious blow to Maresca’s defensive plans. Colwill underwent successful surgery in London earlier this week, and the club confirmed that his rehabilitation programme is already underway.
Colwill has been a crucial figure in Chelsea’s backline, offering composure, aerial presence, and leadership beyond his years. His absence will force Maresca to rethink his defensive setup as the Blues push on in the Premier League and Champions League campaigns.
