Such a pivotal player both defensively and offensively in recent seasons, Ivanovic has had a nightmare start to the 2015/2016 season.
Branislav Ivanovic substituted with a hamstring injury with Serbia 0-0 in Albania.
Well sooner or later he will have to be replaced, and here are FIVE IVANOVIC REPLACEMENTS Chelsea should consider!
The Serbians’ two late goals came long after the duo were withdrawn through injury, news which will not have come as music to the ears of Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho.
This unfortunate situation however appears to be a blessing in disguise for Ghana defender Baba Abdul Rahman who is still waiting to make his Premiership debut with Chelsea since his summer arrival.
These are indeed desperate times for Chelsea supporters. Chelsea FC have able deputies to choose from, but it would be just a slight reshuffle in defence with Azpilicueta shifting to right-back and Baba Rahman slotting in as left-back.
