Trevoh Chalobah, the talented defender from Chelsea, has recently joined Crystal Palace on loan. However, his much-awaited debut with the Eagles has been delayed due to an unfortunate abdominal injury sustained during his very first training session with the team.
After being sidelined from Chelsea's first-team by Enzo Maresca, Chalobah was looking forward to reviving his career at Selhurst Park. Despite hopes of receiving offers upwards of £20 million for him, no such bids were made and his loan deal with Palace does not include an option to buy.
Excitement was building up for Chalobah's potential debut against Leicester City on Saturday, but in his pre-match press conference, Palace boss Oliver Glasner revealed the unfortunate news of the defender's injury. He stated that it was a strange injury and that Chalobah would most likely miss the next three games.
The absence of Chalobah, along with the injury of Chadi Riad and the exile of Rob Holding, has left Palace with limited options for their back-three formation. On a brighter note, their new signings on deadline day, Matt Turner, Eddie Nketiah, and Chalobah, are yet to make their debuts for the team.
Glasner also provided an update on Nketiah, stating that the striker is fit and ready to play after his big money transfer from Arsenal. He assured that they did not spend £25 million on a player to keep him on the bench and that Nketiah's versatility will be an asset to the team.
Despite a slow start to the season with just one point from their first three league games, Palace is determined to turn things around with their new signings and the return of key players. They are hopeful for Chalobah's quick recovery and eager to see him on the field in the near future.
