JAKARTA - Chelsea defender Levi Colwill is in danger of being sidelined after undergoing an anterior cruciatum (ACL) ligament injury.
The Blues said on Thursday, August 7, 2025, local time that the England National Team (Timnas) player had undergone successful surgery after a medical assessment confirmed that surgery was a necessary measure.
The injury comes as Chelsea report for pre-season training this week, following their win over Paris Saint-Germain in the 2025 Club World Cup final three weeks earlier.
Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca has previously expressed concern about Colwill's injury.

"It happened in the first training session Monday, August 4, 2025, right at the last minute of the session."
"He felt something. As I said, we need to wait. Then we'll see.
"We don't know how long he will be out of action. I spoke to him yesterday and said that if we achieve what we achieved last year, it was also because of him. He is our main player," Maresca said.
The 22-year-old is a key Chelsea player for the 2024/2025 season, appearing 43 times in all competitions when the London team finished fourth in the Premier League and won the UEFA Conference League and the 2025 Club World Cup.
Chelsea will start their work in the Premier League by hosting Crystal Palace on August 17, 2025.
Colwill's absence is likely to open up opportunities for Jorrel Hato, a Chelsea new player from Ajax.
