Chelsea connection under scrutiny as Strasbourg lose again

Strasbourg were beaten at Nice on Sunday on their return to action, fielding a very young team on the Cote d’Azur. Capable of the best and the worst since the start of the season, the Alsace club are now asked whether they are paying for a lack of experience after their summer 2026 recruitment, which included five Chelsea players. Already beaten by Paris FC before the international break, Strasbourg conceded a second successive Ligue 1 defeat at Nice on Sunday (2-1).
