Chelsea Defender Wesley Fofana Faces Potential Season-Ending Hamstring Injury

Manager Enzo Maresca confirms Fofana's extended absence as Chelsea contends with defensive setbacks and fading title hopes.

Wesley Fofana, 24, could miss the rest of Chelsea's season due to a severe hamstring injury sustained in December against Aston Villa.
Fofana has struggled with injuries since his £70 million move from Leicester in 2022, limiting him to just 32 appearances for Chelsea.
Manager Enzo Maresca confirmed no surgery is needed at this time but did not rule out the possibility in the future.
Chelsea's defensive issues are compounded by Benoit Badiashile's continued absence until February, though Reece James and Romeo Lavia are nearing returns.
The club has dropped to fourth in the Premier League, trailing leaders Liverpool by 10 points, as Maresca emphasizes this season as a transitional period for building the squad.
