Benoit Badiashile has dropped a team news hint ahead of Chelsea's clash with Crystal Palace, suggesting that he could finally be granted his debut. The 21-year-old defender has been named in Graham Potter's squad on a number of occassions since joining the Blues from Monaco earlier this month.
But, despite Kalidou Koulibaly's unconvincing displays, he's yet to be given a chance in the first-team alongside Thiago Silva. Since Badiashile's arrival, the west Londoners have lost each of their three previous ties with losses coming against Fulham and Manchester City in both the Premier League and the FA Cup.
Potter has struggled to rejuvenate Chelsea following the World Cup but Todd Boehly will be hoping that the signing of the the France international will come to fruition. Having conceded eight goals this month, the young defender could give his new club the edge they need.
