"Chelsea have conceded nine goals from crosses, whether that be from set-pieces or open play, in the Premier League. Only the bottom two sides have conceded more, with Chelsea level with Tottenham. Chelsea are lacking a centre-back that is going to put his body where it hurts and take responsibility."
"Tosin has won 69.2% of his aerial duels in the Premier League, which puts the former Man City man in the top 20% of defenders. He is Chelsea's best in the air. Indeed, Tosin's average of 5.5 aerial duels won per 90 minutes is third-best in the league, with Tosin only trailing Virgil van Dijk and Matthijs de Ligt."
Chelsea currently struggle defending crosses, conceding nine goals from crosses in the Premier League, ranking joint-third worst alongside Tottenham. Tosin Adarabioyo, the former Fulham defender, has been sidelined with a hamstring injury but is returning to training. His defensive statistics demonstrate he is Chelsea's best option for addressing this weakness. Tosin has won 69.2% of his aerial duels, placing him in the top 20% of Premier League defenders. His average of 5.5 aerial duels won per 90 minutes ranks third in the league, behind only Virgil van Dijk and Matthijs de Ligt. Manager Liam Rosenior should prioritize starting Tosin upon his fitness return rather than pursuing a defensive overhaul.
