Kalidou Koulibaly - Page 3 - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Out with knee issue Koulibaly will miss out on Saturday's match against Manchester United due to discomfort in his knee, according to manager Graham Potter via Adam Newsom for football.london. He just...

Impact Koulibaly didn't appear to have any issues prior to Saturday after playing the full 90 in Wednesday's draw with Brentford but is taking precautions to prevent any issues. While he's out, Thiago Silva gets help from Trevoh Chalobah and Marc Cucurella to fill out the back line. It's unclear if Koulibaly will also be in question for Tuesday's trip to Red Bull Salzburg but there should be an update by the UCL tie.

Helps Chelsea to clean sheet Koulibably blocked two shots, made an interception, four tackles (winning three) and making a clearance during Tuesday's 2-0 win over AC Milan.

Impact Koulibably helped Chelsea to a clean sheet as a member of the team's back three setup on Tuesday. The centerback has started three of Chelsea's four Champions League matches, helping the side to two clean sheets.

Easy day for clean sheet Koulibaly had one tackle (one won) and four clearances in Wednesday's 3-0 victory versus AC Milan.

Impact Koulibaly didn't have a whole lot to do as Chelsea controlled the match from start-to-finish. The center-back simply didn't handle enough volume to make a major fantasy impact. Some sloppy play from Koulibaly saw him commit two fouls, which proved to be a major detriment in such a quiet match. Chelsea as a whole seem to be more defensively stout under new boss Graham Potter, something that could help Koulibaly's clean sheet upside moving forward.

Sent off against Leeds Koulibaly was sent off in the 85th minute of Sunday's match against Leeds United after he was shown a second yellow card.

Impact Koulibaly has picked up a one-match ban after frustration resulted in a second booking with not much time left in the contest. Trevoh Chalobah or Ethan Ampadu could come in to fill the gap at center-back in the next game against Leicester as neither Marc Cucurella or Reece James are entirely able to feature centrally in a back two instead of a back three.

Scores first EPL goal Koulibaly scored a goal while taking three shots (one on goal), making five tackles (winning four) and a clearance during Sunday's 2-2 draw with Tottenham.

Impact Koulibaly volleyed home a corner kick in the 19th minute to open the scoring in the match. It was an excellent moment in the defender's home debut, only to be spoiled by a late Spurs equalizer to force a share of the points.

Goes 75 minutes in opener Koulibaly put one shot on target and made one interception during 75 minutes of Saturday's 1-0 win over Everton.

Impact Koulibaly couldn't go the distance for the clean sheet bonus but still looked strong in his competitive debut for Chelsea. Alongside Thiago Silva and in front of Edouard Mendy, Koulibaly could be on the hook for a high number of shutouts this season.
