WHAT HAPPENED?
Chelsea have been dealt an injury blow as Wesley Fofana is now set to be out of action again. The defender, who had recently returned to full training following a 12-week absence due to a hamstring injury, has suffered another setback. He was ruled out from Chelsea’s recent Premier League clash against Tottenham Hotspur.
The club is yet to provide a full update on his fitness and the timeline of his recovery. Fofana’s persistent injuries, now his fifth since joining Chelsea, have left a significant gap in their defense. While he has not been included in the UEFA Conference League squad, he was anticipated to make a return to Premier League competition. Trevoh Chalobah has stepped into the starting lineup in his place.
WHAT NEXT FOR CHELSEA?
Enzo Maresca’s team currently sits fourth in the Premier League standings with 52 points from 30 matches. Their next fixture is against Brentford in the Premier League on Sunday before they play Legia for the Conference League quarter-finals, where they are the main contender to lift the trophy. The Blues will also monitor injury updates closely, not just for Wesley Fofana but for other key players like Romeo Lavia, who has also faced setbacks, and Reece James, who remains cautiously rotated due to fitness concerns.
