Chelsea defender Maxence Lacroix is feared to be sidelined until January after sustaining an injury during the Carabao Cup fourth-round match against Liverpool at Anfield on October 28, 2026.
The French centre-back walked off the pitch in the first half of the match, and subsequent reports indicate a significant layoff that could keep him out of action for several weeks.
Lacroix, who joined Chelsea in 2025, has been a regular in the back line this season. His absence will test the squad's defensive depth as they navigate a busy fixture schedule across multiple competitions.
