Chelsea defender Levi Colwill was ruled out of his team's Premier League game with Manchester City due to a shoulder problem.

Many fans were surprised to learn that Colwill would not be a part of the squad for the game on Sunday, which finished 4-4.

However, The Standard revealed pre-game that Colwill was missing out due to a minor shoulder injury.

The Blues did not want to take a chance on Colwill, despite his good form, with Marc Cucurella playing instead.

There is no clarity regarding Colwill's status for England at the moment, as the extent of the injury is unknown.

England boss Gareth Southgate will be hoping he can rely on the defender, who can fill in at center back and left-back.
