Chelsea appear to have avoided a fresh injury scare, with Xabi Alonso downplaying fears over Levi Colwill after the defender was withdrawn during Chelsea's win over Leeds United, according to EPL Index.
Colwill's early substitution had raised concerns given Chelsea's ongoing defensive issues, but Alonso's comments suggest the club do not believe the centre-back has picked up a serious problem, easing worries at least for now.
Details on the exact nature of the issue remain limited, but the update will come as a relief to Chelsea fans keeping a close eye on the squad's fitness heading into a congested fixture schedule.
