When will Wesley Fofana return from injury?
After limping off against Aston Villa last weekend, Fofana hinted he may not be out for too long and his setback was normal based on the long injuries he had previously sustained.
However, Maresca has already said that it is going to be a few more weeks before he can be expected back on the pitch.
Fofana was spotted in the gym last week as he prepares for his return, however Chelsea have already started multiple different defenders in his place since his injury.
