Ben Chilwell, after facing a difficult period with Chelsea, joins Crystal Palace on loan hoping to reignite his career.
Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner believes on-loan defender Ben Chilwell can revitalize his career with the Eagles. Chilwell has faced a challenging 18 months with parent club Chelsea , hampered by injuries and limited playing opportunities. The 28-year-old left-back has been absent from the Premier League since April 2024 and was informed last August that he wasn't part of Enzo Maresca's plans.
Chilwell, who has earned 21 caps for England, has made only one appearance this season, coming off the bench in Chelsea's Carabao Cup victory against Barrow in September.Glasner revealed that Chilwell was one of Palace's primary targets during the transfer window and represented a signing that could provide immediate impact. 'It can be a big chance for him. He has to compete with Tyrick Mitchell because he has had an excellent season for us, very consistent on a very high level. But he is doing really well in training,' Glasner stated. 'Ben played many games for Chelsea and then, for reasons I don't know and I don't care, he didn't play. 'That was the only opportunity that we could sign him here, because if he is a starter for Chelsea, we don't have a chance to sign him.'Chilwell is poised to make his debut for Palace in their FA Cup fourth-round tie against Doncaster on Monday. Glasner confirmed that Chilwell will be involved in some capacity against the League Two side. He added: 'Unfortunately, he couldn't take part in Chelsea's team training in January. Team training is a little bit different, so we have to give him some days and maybe weeks, but the plan is he will get minutes at Doncaster.
