GAME LOG
Starting UCL contest Koulibaly (illness) will be in the starting XI against Borussia Dortmund on Wednesday.
Impact Koulibaly returns to the starting XI for the first time since Jan. 12 against Fulham after having been an unused substitute in his last two inclusions in the squad. Even with his return for this Champions League contest, Koulibaly may not be able to unseat Benoit Basiashile as the starter in Premier League action.
FEBRUARY 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Recovers from illness Koulibaly (illness) was called up by Chelsea for Wednesday's Champions League clash against Borussia Dortmund.
Impact Koulibaly was not involved in last weekend's draw against West Ham due to an illness, but he has recovered and will now be expected to start alongside Thiago Silva in central defense on Wednesday because Benoit Badiashile was not registered for Chelsea's UCL roster. But Wesley Fofana (knee) is returning to fitness while Cesar Azpilicueta and Trevoh Chalobah remain options in the position as well.

Nets lone Chelsea goal Koulibaly scored a goal with his lone shot while creating a chance, making three interceptions and two clearances during Thursday's 2-1 loss to Fulham.
Impact Koulibaly found the back of the net in the 47th minute, leveling the score just out of halftime. The goal was the second in 13 appearances for the centerback as Koulibaly has struggled since joining the club, helping Chelsea to just three clean sheets during his time on the pitch.

Nets in big win contribution Koulibaly scored a goal on two shots (one on target), made four tackles (two won) and added 10 clearances during Tuesday's 2-1 win over Ecuador.
Impact Koulibaly smashed home a volley in the build up of a free kick during the 70th minute to seal the victory for his Senegal side. His 10 clearances were also a team-high as he patrolled his squad's area nicely. The Chelsea defender was priced rather attractively for DFS purposes, and the performance should be rather appreciated across all formats. With the result, Senegal now advances to the Round of 16.
NOVEMBER 29, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Seven clearances in victory Koulibaly logged seven clearances and added two successful tackles during Friday's 3-1 victory over Qatar.
Impact Koulibaly was once again a stalwart in central defense for his Senegal side and paced all players on the pitch in clearances for the afternoon. He will look to be equally as effective Tuesday in a tricky matchup with a talented Ecuador squad.

Concedes yellow card in loss Koulibaly conceded a yellow card during Saturday's 1-0 loss to Newcastle United.
Impact Koulibaly was able to start twice in the last four days to regain his rhythm before the World Cup. While Koulibaly has only been in the lineup for one of the last three league losses, he'll still look for better effort defensively in 2023. Before then, he's set to anchor Senegal's hopes at the World Cup as a key piece following their triumph at AFCON in 2021.

Back in starting XI Koulibaly (knee) is in the starting XI for Wednesday's match against Dinamo Zagreb.
Impact Koulibaly returns to the XI Wednesday after missing the last two weeks with the knee injury. There's a chance he doesn't go a full 90 against Zagreb, but it's a decent spot for a clean sheet and even some shots if Chelsea go for the win in a meaningless spot.

Impact Koulibaly has missed each of the last three matches with a knee injury and looks to have recovered his fitness, if medical clearance is still needed. When he does return, Trevoh Chalobah would likely move elsewhere to make space in the lineup.

Targeting Wednesday return Koulibaly (knee) will not be an option against Brighton & Hove Albion on Saturday but could return for Wednesday's Champions League clash with Dinamo Zagreb. Manager Graham Potter...
Impact Koulibaly will be shelved for his third straight contest due to his lingering knee problem but at least appears to have a clearer timeline to return. In his previous five outings (four starts), the central defender has garnered 15 clearances, 12 tackles (eight won) and six interceptions but just one shot (off target).

Impact Koulibaly missed a clash with Manchester United and now seems like a doubt for a Saturday trip to Brighton as well. Marc Cucurella fully recovered from an illness and could be an option at center-back if Koulibaly misses more time, with Trevoh Chalobah another option in a back-five.
