Chelsea: Wesley Fofana is having fun with OM

Another hard blow for Wesley Fofana and Chelsea. Holder during the victory of Blues against Aston Villa (3-0), this Sunday, in the Premier League, the French international had to give up his place in the 60th minute following a new injury. The former AS Saint-Étienne player was replaced by Benoît Badiashile. After the meeting, Enzo Maresca gave news of the 23-year-old central defender.

And unfortunately, they are not good. Fofana suffers from a hamstring injury. “ Initial indications suggest a delay of 4 to 5 weeks », indicated the Italian coach at a press conference. This therefore means that Wesley Fofana will not return to the pitch with Chelsea during 2024. A new setback for the ex-Leicester player, who has already missed 77 matches due to injuries since his arrival at Stamford Bridge in August 2022.
