It was with a look of deliberate bemusement that Oliver Glasner poured cold water on the idea that Chelsea might have to recall Trevoh Chalobah this month amid a centre-back “injury crisis” which, clearly, he feels has been overblown.
“I could see that there was [Axel] Disasi and Tosin [Adarabioyo] on the bench,” said the Crystal Palace boss following Saturday’s 1-1 draw, in which - amid the absences of Wesley Fofana and Benoit Badiashile due to hamstring problems - Chelsea gave youngster Josh Acheampong a full Premier League debut alongside Levi Colwill at centre-back.
