Blueco called out by yet another manager, Bench Cole Palmer for the final? Hand keys to Jose Mourinho & sign Stones, Lewandowski & Henderson? Levi Colwill is a true leader, Alonso to Chelsea HEATS UP!

The Chelsea FC Newsletter: Tuesday 12th May 2026!

Morning all,

I hope you’re having a good start to your week so far.

We have a pretty big game coming up at the weekend, and I’ve started to throw out some preview articles ahead of the game. The first one is debating whether Cole Palmer should start the game. This is not a debate I started, but I’ve jumped in on it here and stuck a poll for you all to get involved too.

And speaking about polls, I have a few more in here for you to take part in. This is around comments made by Joe Cole last week regarding handing the manager keys to Jose Mourinho again, and signing Jordan Henderson, John Stones, and Robert Lewandowski. Get involved in this one!

It’s so great to see Levi Colwill back out on the pitch for Chelsea, and he could come in very handy this weekend in our attempts to win a trophy. What I see in Levi is a true leader. I think he represents real captain material. Words here.

Things have been going from bad to worse for Blueco. Not only do they have Chelsea fans on their backs, they have Strasbourg too. And now, some comments made by Strasbourg boss Gary O’Neill are not painting a very nice picture for them yet again. Story and quotes here.

As always, I’ve rounded up all your latest general Chelsea news in the same place here. This covers everything you need to know from the last 24 hours, including the media finally catching up on the Xabi Alonso to Chelsea news as that heats up big time!!

See you all on the next live blog from around 8.45am today!

Peace, Si.
