According to reports, Chelsea has no interest in acquiring a goalie or centre defender during the January transfer window. Last Saturday, the Blues defeated champions Liverpool 2-1 to record their second win in seven Premier League games.
After passionately celebrating Chelsea’s last-minute victory, manager Enzo Maresca was sent off, but the Spaniard will be aware that there are still a lot of problems with the team.
The team has dropped points against teams like Brentford, Brighton & Hove Albion, and Manchester United this season, and the backline has been criticised for a number of poor performances.
Despite their defensive shortcomings, Chelsea is reportedly satisfied with their central defence and goalkeeping options, according to Sky Sports News. Due to his ACL injury sustained during the preseason, Chelsea will be without Levi Colwill for an extended period of time. He is also one of several defensive absences.

Despite their recent setbacks, Josh Acheampong, Benoit Badiashile, Wesley Fofana, and Tosin Adarabioyo could all make a comeback following the October international break.
The Blues may find it difficult to defeat aggressive opponents who try to regain possession because no one is as skilled with the ball as Colwill.
As for the team’s goalkeeping position, fans felt that Robert Sanchez had stopped making as many mistakes, therefore he was given more latitude at the beginning of the season.
The Spaniard’s red card during Chelsea’s 2-1 defeat to Manchester United on September 20th shows that he hasn’t fully recovered from his inconsistent decision-making, and his spot in the starting lineup may be in doubt.
Later in the season, Levi Colwill is anticipated to recover from his injury, but Jorrel Hato and captain Reece James are available to cover if needed.
The Blues saw no need to add more defensive options because Mamadou Sarr and Aaron Anselmino are likely to return from their loan stints, despite the fact that half of Chelsea’s team is prone to injuries.
