Plays hour in Sociedad win
Lacroix played an hour in Saturday's 3-1 win over Real Sociedad after returning to training earlier in the week, according to coach Xabi Alonso. "They did quite well to play this well after just three days of training"
Analysis: Lacroix is one of Chelsea's new signings for the season and figures to see regular playing time in coach Xabi Alonso's three man backline once fully up to speed. His involvement in this match is an encouraging sign given the limited buildup time before the Aug. 24 opener against Fulham. Lacroix is expected to continue integrating with his new teammates as preseason wraps up.
Links up with teammates
Lacroix returned to Chelsea on Tuesday for pre-season work ahead of the 2026/27 season.
Analysis: Lacroix is one of several new faces at Chelsea for the 2025/26 season, and the Frenchman should see regular playing time at the back for the Blues. It remains to be seen if he'll be fit enough to start in less than two weeks in the opener versus Fulham on Aug. 24, but throughout the season, he figures to play a key role in Chelsea's defensive line in Xabi Alonso's three-man backline.
