On bench Saturday Badiashile (undisclosed) is on the bench for Saturday's game against Brighton.

Impact Badiashile will be an option off the bench, and that will add some much-needed depth to a defensive line that's missing Levi Colwill (knee), Wesley Fofana (concussion) and Tosin Adarabioyo (calf). He should see minutes sooner rather than later due to his lack of depth the Blues are dealing with.

Impact Badiashile has missed the beginning of the season due to an injury he has struggled to recover from but is progressing well in his rehabilitation after being spotted training partially with the team on Sunday.

Impact Badiashile suffered an injury in the Club World Cup back in July and is now in the process of returning.

Targeting September return Badiashile (undisclosed) is targeting a return in September, Football London reports.

Impact Badiashile has been on the sidelines since suffering an injury at the Club World Cup.

The defender's absence is an even bigger loss with the news of Levi Colwill's torn ACL leaving Chelsea short-handed in defense. Wesley Fofana (hamstring), Jorrel Hato, and Josh Acheampong all will be options to fill the void left by Colwill in Chelsea's backline.

This is a big blow for him since he is often injured and had been linked to a move to Marseille in the summer transfer window.
