Another casualty to **Chelsea**‘s defensive options, Wesley Fofana has seen himself ruled out for at least 12 matches due to the injury. Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca has provided an update regarding this matter. He said that the player could not get fit for long periods of time. The development means there is more pressure on Chelsea, for whom the club has a crammed winter schedule with key clashes both in the Premier League and in Europe.
Enzo Maresca will rely on players such as Badiashile and Levi Colwill to bridge the gap at central defence. The supporters have all their fingers crossed for Fofana’s timely return for the crunch of the season with the medical team working carefully to take him through the rehabilitation process. As per football.london, the French defender has picked up a hamstring injury.
Current situation of Wesley Fofana
The latest injury blow to Chelsea, Wesley Fofana set to miss up to 12 big games that are going to affect the team’s defence stability at a very key moment of the season, had been struggling with fitness problems since joining from Leicester City and Enzo Maresca’s words reflect the real challenge in dealing with such recurrent injuries of the defender.
The timing couldn’t be worse for Chelsea, who enter a crammed fixture calendar that will see them juggle high-stakes dates in both domestic and European competitions. With Cucurella’s experience and Levi Colwill’s emerging talent, Enzo Maresca will need to weigh up how to cover his absence while maintaining momentum in his fight for European qualification.
