Chelsea’s defender Trevoh Chalobah, plagued by a persistent hamstring injury, is nearing fitness, opening the possibility of a January departure. Despite Chelsea’s defensive injury concerns, Chalobah, yet to feature this season, aims for a fresh start away from Stamford Bridge. The team has coped well with defensive setbacks, securing victories even with key players like Reece James, Ben Chilwell, and Marc Cucurella sidelined.

Chalobah, cautious about his recovery, eyes a potential move, likely a loan with a view to a permanent transfer. Bundesliga side Borussia Dortmund and Tottenham have been linked with the frustrated center-back. Concurrently, Chelsea is reportedly considering Benfica’s Antonio Silva as a defensive reinforcement.

Talks for a £52 million deal, including Armando Broja, have surfaced, although Benfica is adamant about the full £87 million release clause for the 20-year-old Portugal star. As Chelsea navigates defensive challenges, Chalobah’s potential departure adds an intriguing dimension to the January transfer window.

Here is the highlight video of Chalobah’s skills.
