Enzo Maresca has acted swiftly to address Chelsea's defensive concerns following Wesley Fofana's potential season-ending injury. The club has recalled 19-year-old Aaron Anselmino from his loan at Boca Juniors, integrating him into the first team alongside Axel Disasi, Levi Colwill, and Tosin Adarabioyo. This move signals the Blues' intent to strengthen their backline and ensure stability amidst other defensive absences, including Benoit Badiashile.
Wesley Fofana is facing a significant spell on the sidelines due to a hamstring injury.
Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca confirmed Benoit Badiashile will also be out until February.
Aaron Anselmino, 19, has returned from his loan at Boca Juniors to bolster Chelsea's defence.
Anselmino will join Levi Colwill, Axel Disasi, and Tosin Adarabioyo as defensive options.
The recall is part of Chelsea's strategy to cope with injuries and maintain depth in their squad.
Anselmino's return differs from others like Ronnie Stutter and Gabriel Slonina, as he will be directly integrated into the first team.
