Well, it just got a whole lot tougher with left-back Emerson Palmieri limping off injured in the early stages of Italy&#8217;s clash with Finland.<\/p>\n<p>The Blues have a ready-made left-back ready to step into the fray in the form of Marcos Alonso but for all his set-piece expertise, the Spaniard is somewhat questionable defensively and, putting it politely, he isn&#8217;t a favourite among Chelsea fans. A 30-second scroll through Twitter was a great testament to that&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">How I\u2019m feeling rn <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/lcqjVMDcll\">pic.twitter.com\/lcqjVMDcll<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Matt (@MatthewElton2) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MatthewElton2\/status\/1170774378348515329?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 8, 2019<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/twitter.com\/vic_kole\/status\/1170773033604329477?s=19<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Emerson just got taken off for Italy with a hamstring \/ thigh injury meaning Marcos Alonso is likely to start for the next few weeks.. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/x3KRFeTsU4\">https:\/\/t.co\/x3KRFeTsU4<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Pys (@CFCPys) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/CFCPys\/status\/1170772995331297281?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 8, 2019<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Emerson injured.
