Chelsea defender Trevoh Chalobah was placed in an unfamiliar position during a friendly against Brighton on 17 September.
Chalobah has managed just 90 minutes in the Premier League so far this season. With Kalidou Koulibaly and Wesley Fofana at the back, Chalobah has struggled to find a permanent place at Chelsea.
Under Graham Potter, Chalobah may revive his Chelsea career, but he may not be as much of a central defender as expected.
According to The Athletic, during a friendly between Chelsea and Brighton on September 17, Chalobah was deployed at number six, where Jorginho usually operates.

With Jorginho out of contract at the end of the season, Potter could be internally considering other midfield options. During his time at Brighton, he wasn’t afraid to play with his team, trying out players in peculiar positions.
Dan Burn was often used as a full-back, with striker Leandro Trossard the same way, despite being an imposing central defender and a tricky striker, respectively.
This could be Chalobah’s last chance to impress the Chelsea staff, but he seems more likely to walk away from the club at this point due to his lack of playing time.
