Chelsea Levy Kolville defender suffered a serious knee injury and dropped out for most of the 20125/26 season.

According to Insider Fabrizio Romano, a 22-year-old player received a rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament at the end of his first workout after a summer pause.

After a medical examination and MRI, a decision on surgery has already been made.

Kolville is expected to last for at least six to eight months, so his return to the field is likely to take place no earlier than spring 2026.

Earlier, Liverpool had an interest in Kolville.
