Despite the latest encouraging news on Ben Chilwell, Chelsea fans still want to see a replacement left-back recruited in January, amid concerns that the Englishman's season could be jeopardized by surgery. Chilwell, 25, tore his partial ACL in a Champions League triumph over Juventus 4-0 a month ago, and the setback has undoubtedly destroyed the Blues' season. Marcos Alonso, Callum Hudson-Odoi, and Saul Niguez have filled in for the ex- Leicester man since he was ruled out for an extended period, but none of them have had the same impact as Chilwell. This is because Chelsea's form has been mixed since the Juventus victory, with Thomas Tuchel's team having a win percentage of only 29% in all competitions. Despite the manager's recent comments, this low percentage has encouraged Blues fans to urge action in this position in January.
