Kurt Zouma’s time at Chelsea may have just gone from difficult to more problematic, following Fikayo Tomori’s first-half performance against Wolves.
The Frenchman was left out of the starting line-up for the Blues at Molineux, with Frank Lampard’s former Derby County loanee Tomori starting in his stead alongside Andreas Christensen and Antonio Rudiger in Chelsea’s defence.
While the Blues have yet to concede at the half-time break, Tomori also scored the club’s first goal, rocketing a strike in from 30 yards.
Tomori’s performance so far has impressed many Chelsea fans, with a number of supporters taking to Twitter to express their preference for Zouma to remain out of the side.

Zouma’s introduction at half time also had a lot to say about how many fans feel about the 24-year old. Several fans reacted on Twitter to that tactical decision too.
