Plays full 90 in return
Chalobah had one shot (zero on goal) and one chance created in Tuesday's 3-0 loss versus Brighton.
Analysis: Chalobah made his first start since picking up an ankle injury against PSG in March, playing the full 90 minutes in Tuesday's 3-0 defeat at Brighton in what was an unexpectedly demanding return given the coaching staff had initially deemed him unfit to start against Manchester United just three days prior. Despite his personal resilience in completing his first full match after missing three matches due to an ankle injury, the defeat extended his side's scoreless run to five straight Premier League games, leaving their top-five hopes in serious jeopardy with Chalobah as one of the few players to emerge with any credit in a collective collapse.
Returns as substitute Saturday
Chalobah (ankle) is on the bench for Saturday's clash against Manchester United.
Analysis: Chalobah was passed fit enough to be included in the squad after taking part in modified training ahead of the weekend, with the final decision made closer to kickoff returning a cautiously positive outcome. The defender had missed the last three matches due to the ankle injury, and while his return is a welcome development, the coaching staff opted against rushing him straight back into the starting lineup after such a spell on the sidelines. His availability off the bench nonetheless offers a valuable option as the side looks to strengthen their defensive resources.
