According to Football London, Benoit Badiashile is on the cusp of returning to action after being sidelined for eight weeks, having missed games since Chelsea’s comeback win over Tottenham on 8 December. The French international, who has been working hard on individual recovery at the club’s training base in Cobham, is expected to provide a much-needed boost to a defence already weakened by Wesley Fofana’s long-term injury. His return will offer relief to Levi Colwill, who has recently come under fire for his defensive errors, including conceding a goal at Stamford Bridge. However, Badiashile’s future at Chelsea remains uncertain; despite his imposing presence, he has been criticised for his inability to read the game effectively and his propensity for injuries. As a result, Chelsea are reportedly preparing to move on from their trio of French centre-backs this summer, with Bournemouth starlet Dean Huijsen emerging as a potential replacement.According to Football London, Benoit Badiashile is on the cusp of returning to action after being sidelined for eight weeks, having missed games since Chelsea’s comeback win over Tottenham on 8 December.
