As at today July 2026, ahead of Chelsea’s 2026 season, Softfootball can confirm that unless some of Chelsea’s defenders leave this summer, there is a high chance Chelsea will be having 10 centre‑backs.
Here are the centre‑backs currently with the Chelsea squad:
- Levi Colwill
- Aarón Anselmino
- Trevoh Chalobah
- Mamadou Sarr
- Benoît Badiashile
- Axel Disasi
- Wesley Fofana
- Josh Acheampong
- Tosin Adarabioyo
- Maxence Lacroix
Some of these players have become a controversy for Chelsea fans, as many believe the likes of Benoît Badiashile, Axel Disasi, and Tosin Adarabioyo should not remain with the team.
