Chelsea boss, Enzo Maresca has reportedly confirmed that Levi Colwill is a doubt for the start of the Premier League season following a knock in training labelling it ‘a problem’.

Though, he didn’t explain the nature of the problem or the length of time, the Blues manager anticipates Colwill will be sidelined.

However, according to The Independent, Chelsea’s loss of the 22-year-old is a setback ahead of their Premier League opening clash with Crystal Palace in a little more than a week.

“We had a problem the last two days with Levi Colwill, that we don’t know how long he is going to be out,” Maresca said in a press conference on Thursday.

“So for us, we will see, hopefully not too long, but for sure it’s a problem for us.

“We need to wait, we don’t know yet [what the specific injury is]. It was in the first session on Monday, just in the last minutes of the session. He felt something and, as I said, we need to wait and then we see.”

“It depends. We need to wait and then we see. But, as I said, we know each other from last year and, you know in our way, how important Levi has been.”
