Chelsea's regular starter, Maxence Lacroix, has been ruled out with a potential serious hamstring injury during their EFL Cup match against Liverpool. The defender was substituted mid-way through the first half after holding his hamstring, and his limp around the pitch painted a grim picture of his condition. The severity of the injury suggests a minimum month-long absence.
Levi Colwill has been called upon to replace him for the remainder of the game, and he is expected to face significant challenges. The club may need to consider a defensive reshuffle if Lacroix's injury prolongs. Should Lacroix miss a considerable amount of time, Fofana is likely to return to his regular first-team role, and Josh Acheampong is set to gain more starts, potentially even securing a place on the bench.
Meanwhile, Estevao, who was expected to start, remains absent, and Chelsea has reportedly shown interest in a new backup for him.
