Makes first start of season
Colwill (knee) makes his first Premier League start of the season for Saturday's clash against Liverpool, marking a significant milestone in his return from the serious knee injury he sustained in pre-season, the club posted.
Analysis: Colwill had been working his way back gradually and featured 45 minutes of bench in Monday's clash against Nottingham Forest. After completing a full week of training, coach Calum McFarlane decided to hand him a starting role against one of the league's top sides is a strong vote of confidence in his recovery. The England international's return to the starting lineup is a major boost for Chelsea heading into the final stretch of the season, with the club having managed his comeback carefully to ensure he is fully ready before being thrown into the thick of things.
Feeling good after return
Colwill (knee) has completed a full week of training and could start Saturday's clash against Liverpool, according to coach Calum McFarlane. "Levi has trained a full week with us, and so has Reece, so it's really positive with those two. We've still got another session before facing Liverpool, but both trained fully today and we're hopeful."
Analysis: Colwill's progression to a full week of training is a significant step forward after a lengthy spell on the sidelines following a serious knee injury sustained in pre-season. The England international had already earned a place on the bench in the previous fixture, and a potential starting role against Liverpool would mark a major milestone in his recovery. Manager Calum McFarlane will make a final decision following the last training session before the match, with the signs pointing toward an increasingly prominent role for the center-back in the final fixtures of the campaign.
