Quick Summary

Pep Chavarria unexpectedly missed Chelsea's Premier League match against Everton despite traveling with the team and being seen at the stadium. The Spaniard, signed by Chelsea in August for £16 million, was replaced at left wing-back by Jorrel Hato due to a minor injury, according to manager Xabi Alonso. This development puzzled fans on social media as Chavarria had started each of the previous two matches.
