Chelsea said they will not be returning to the transfer market in search of Levi Colwill’s replacement.
The Blues, according to Fabrizio Romano, a football transfer expert, have not activated any immediate ‘emergency plan’ to sign a new centre back.
Chelsea have full trust in the rest of the players and also with their latest signing, Jorrel Hato able to play at centre back or left-back.
