Chelsea will not make a fast move in the market after Levi Colwill’s injury. The club has no emergency plan in place. Officials believe the squad is balanced and strong.
Colwill suffered a knock earlier this week. While the injury is being monitored, there is no panic inside the club. Medical reports show no long-term concerns at this stage.
Jorrel Hato joined from Ajax last week. He can play centre-back and left-back. His arrival gives Chelsea extra cover. The coaching staff rates him highly. Hato has already trained with the senior group.
Chelsea still have Benoît Badiashile, Axel Disasi, and Trevoh Chalobah in the squad. All three are fit and ready for selection. Thiago Silva’s exit in the summer opened space, but no urgent additions are expected.
The board has made it clear there’s no rush to spend. The focus remains on the players already in the setup. If Colwill returns quickly, the need for changes will be minimal.
Manager Enzo Maresca supports the current structure. He wants players to adapt rather than force outside moves. The priority is to build chemistry in defence before the Premier League starts.
Jorrel Hato is viewed as a key part of the plan. The 18-year-old brings composure and speed. He is also left-footed, matching Colwill’s profile. This allows the team to maintain balance on that side of defence.
Chelsea scouts will continue to watch the market. But there’s no direct contact for a new centre-back. The window remains open, yet the mood inside Cobham is calm.
Sources confirm no contact has been made with other clubs. Chelsea will assess things weekly. For now, no major signings are expected unless injuries increase.
Colwill’s situation is under control. The player is in good spirits. The coaching staff will decide his return timeline based on medical clearance, not pressure.
