Chelsea full back Pep Chavarria has dropped out of the team, and there’s a strong indication it’s due to injury. If you enjoy Talk Chelsea…
Chelsea left-back Pep Chavarria was omitted from the squad to face Everton following an apparent late fitness issue.

In the buildup to the match, Alonso also dismissed suggestions that Chelsea would look to sign a new midfielder during the January transfer window to cover for Reece James' injury.
