Chelsea Defender Levi Colwill Undergoes ACL Surgery

GREATER LONDON, ENGLAND, AUG 7 – Levi Colwill underwent successful ACL surgery and will miss much of the 2025/26 season as Chelsea prepares for their Premier League opener without him.

  • Chelsea defender Levi Colwill successfully underwent surgery on August 7, 2025, to address a knee injury he sustained during training at Cobham.
  • The injury occurred in the first session after returning from the FIFA Club World Cup, prompting medical staff to recommend surgery as the best option.
  • Colwill, aged 22, was a key player last season, making 43 appearances and starting 35 Premier League games as Chelsea finished fourth and won the Conference League and Club World Cup.
  • Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca said, "We don't know how long he is going to be out," emphasizing Colwill's importance while the club considers backup options and relies on recent signing Jorrel Hato.
  • Colwill faces a long recovery phase with the club's medical support at Cobham and is expected to miss most of the upcoming season starting with a home game against Crystal Palace on August 17.
