Premier League: Chelsea’s Fofana likely to miss rest of season, says Maresca
The HinduChelsea defender Wesley Fofana could sit out the rest of the season due to a hamstring injury, manager Enzo Maresca said on Friday as the club struggles for form without the French centre back. Fofana went through injury hell when he missed the entire 2023-24 campaign due to an anterior cruciate ligament surgery in pre-season but started the new season strongly to form the bedrock of Maresca’s defence. “Unfortunately Wes will be out for a very long time and Benoit will be out for at least until February,” Maresca told reporters ahead of Saturday’s London derby away at Crystal Palace. You need to add more things, things we are adding like togetherness and becoming a team in a difficult moment.” Maresca also said he had “no idea” about Ben Chilwell’s future at Stamford Bridge with the transfer window open.
