After the waking dream, Wesley Fofana is living a real nightmare. However, his last season had been that of confirmation despite a knee injury which had kept him away from the field for several months between the end of 2022 and the beginning of 2023. Returning to his best level following this physical glitch, the tricolor defender had ended the season like a cannonball.
Installed as a solid starter in the Chelsea defense, the 22-year-old also had his first selection with the France team during the last rally of the season against Gibraltar. Everyone therefore expected Wesley Fofana to resume on the same basis for this coming season. But unfortunately, a new physical glitch, still in the knee, will block his progress for the next few months.
A long absence
While Chelsea players have already flown to the United States to refine their preparation, Wesley Fofana will stay in London because of his knee. “Defender Wesley Fofana has undergone anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction surgery. Wesley will now begin his recovery and work with the club’s medical department at Cobham during his rehabilitation phase. can we also read in the press release from the London club.
The season is already shaping up to be very complicated for the French defender who should be absent for a large part of the 2023/2024 financial year. If no return date has yet filtered, the English press mentions in particular several months of absence, which would correspond to a rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament. Wesley Fofana will therefore have to be patient to return in the best conditions.
