“Chelsea’s Transfer Failure: Injury Leaves Benoît Badiashile Out for the Season and Euro U21”

Arrived at Chelsea this winter in one of the significant transfers of the last transfer window, Benoît Badiashile is struggling to win at Chelsea. The French central defender was all the more injured and could miss the end of the season. A failure on this transfer which is already looming.

On January 5, Benoît Badiashile left AS Monaco to sign a 7-year contract with Chelsea. For the Blues who paid €38m for the signing of the young defender.

Since then, the player has made an average debut for his new club, which will not play in the European Cup next season. Not included in the list of 25 club players selected to play in the final phase of the Champions League, the former Monegasque has played only 11 games with his new club. That is a total of 905 minutes out of 2250 possible.

A balance sheet that should not increase immediately.

End of season

Indeed according to RMC Sport, Benoît Badiashile was injured in training with Chelsea and should be away from the field for the next 3 months.

This would therefore announce an end to the season for the winter rookie of the Blues, but also his absence for the Euro U21 with France this summer.

Injured in the groin, the young central defender could miss the start of next season. According to Nizaar Kinsella, journalist for Standard, the player had to undergo surgery, which will force him to be out for 4 months. The injury would be worse than expected and would require a longer absence.

A big blow for the former ASM player but also for Chelsea, who relied heavily on his rookie, who should therefore miss the pre-season. A transfer that is gradually turning into a failure.
