Chelsea lost Colwill to an ACL injury before the start of the season, and have struggled defensively in his absence.

The England international played a key role at the end of last season and at the Club World Cup, and Chelsea have paid the price for not bringing a replacement in.

The Blues have managed just three clean sheets in Liam Rosenior’s 18 games in charge, and have made a number of poor individual errors.

As well as Colwill being sidelined, Chelsea have now lost Trevoh Chalobah for around six weeks leaving them with further defensive issues.

Chelsea hope Colwill will be able to return before the end of the season, and he was seen in open training at Cobham in the build up to the first leg of Chelsea’s Champions League tie against PSG.

Expectations need to lowered on Colwill when he does return as it will likely take him time to get up to speed, and back to his top level.

However, speaking ahead of Saturday’s trip to Everton, Rosenior provided an update and stated it’s brilliant to have him back on the training pitch.

“With an ACL, he’s hitting all of the benchmarks that he needs to, but we need to keep making sure that he keeps going past certain levels,” he told his pre-match press conference.

“It’s just brilliant to have his presence back on the training pitch and we want to see him back out there on the pitch as soon as possible, but within the right time frame.

“He’s still looking at a good while, yeah.”

Chelsea face big decisions at centre back in the summer​

With Colwill on his way back, Chelsea face a number of big decisions at centre back in the summer, with the future of several players needing to be sorted out.
