In a concerning development for Chelsea, defender Levi Colwill, who missed Monday’s training session is in doubt for the upcoming clash against Liverpool.
The 20-year-old, who sat out the FA Cup draw with Aston Villa due to a hamstring injury, needs to navigate Tuesday’s session without setbacks to be included in the squad heading to Anfield on Wednesday.

Colwill’s absence during the warm-up before the Aston Villa match raised concerns, but Chelsea remains optimistic that the hamstring issue is minor.
Manager Mauricio Pochettino is keen to have the England international back in contention against Liverpool, but the player’s participation remains uncertain after being unable to train on Monday.
Should Levi Colwill be unavailable, defensive alternatives include Benoit Badiashile, a potential replacement at centre-back, and Ben Chilwell, who could step in at left-back.

Chilwell, returning from a four-month hiatus, is expected to be fit enough to make his first Premier League start since September.
While Colwill’s fitness for the Liverpool clash hangs in the balance, Chelsea anticipates he will be ready to face Wolves on Sunday if ruled out for the midweek fixture.
On a positive note for Chelsea, Christopher Nkunku and Trevoh Chalobah are back in training, raising the possibility of their inclusion on the bench against Liverpool.

However, given their recent fitness concerns, a cautious approach may be adopted in reintegrating them into the squad.
Goalkeeper Robert Sanchez, sidelined since early September with a knee injury, took a significant step in his recovery by returning to training on Monday.
Despite this positive development, Sanchez remains unavailable for the Liverpool match, joining a list of absentees that includes Malo Gusto, Reece James, Marc Cucurella, Romeo Lavia, Lesley Ugochukwu, and Wesley Fofana.
