His defensive errors against Newcastle United in the Carabao Cup and Wolves last week raise concerns. The 22-year-old former Monaco defender appears shaky in defense, a vulnerability Chelsea wouldn’t want to expose against Crystal Palace. It would be prudent for him to be on the bench for the Blues in this match. CONTINUE FULL READING>>>>>
