As it stands, Chelsea have less than two weeks to have their squad assembled in time for the start of the 2022/23 Premier League campaign. The Blues have made two crucial signings for their upcoming campaign but there has yet to be any notable changes in the squad overall. Thomas Tuchel has a bulk of options across the field, but is significantly lacking in the defensive area.
The loss of Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen has taken a toll on the Chelsea squad. They are yet to keep a clean sheet in any of their pre-season matches and managed to concede four goals against Arsenal over the weekend. The Blues may also be losing Cesar Azpilicueta and Marcos Alonso to Barcelona in the upcoming weeks. So what exactly is the plan for Thomas Tuchel going forward?
Frustrations are building in the Chelsea camp. The struggle in pre-season has caused a divide within the fan base - some are unfazed by the pre-season shenanigans, whilst others fear that this is just a stepping stone towards disaster.
