Active defensively in midfield
Gusto recorded three crosses (zero accurate) and two corners in Sunday's 4-3 win against Brighton.
Analysis: Gusto completed the full 90 minutes in midfield alongside Romeo Lavia and contributed across several defensive categories, registering one tackle won, one interception and three clearances. He also handled two corners, offering an additional route to creative production from set pieces. With Moises Caicedo suffering another injury concern Sunday, Gusto's versatility could prove particularly valuable as Chelsea manage their midfield options.
Reports back to training
Gusto returned to Chelsea on Tuesday for pre-season work ahead of the 2026/27 season.
Analysis: Gusto is one of several players who reported back to training Tuesday as Chelsea endure the final preparations for the start of the 2026/27 season. The right-back represented France at the 2026 FIFA World Cup and is back with the squad after his return was delayed to get some much-needed rest before the start of the campaign. Gusto figures to have a rotational role in the squad, but he's expected to see considerable minutes on the right side of the defensive line, especially if Reece James misses time due to injury or is moved to a different position from time to time.
