Enzo Maresca explains why Wesley Fofana did not play against Aston Villa

In their previous Premier League match, Chelsea faced Aston Villa and suffered a 1–2 defeat. Wesley Fofana was also absent from that game, and Maresca has now explained the reason behind his omission.

Details: According to the Chelsea head coach, everything is fine with the French centre-back. He did not feature in the last match because the coaching staff decided to give him a rest. His condition will continue to be monitored, which is why he will not start two matches in a row.

Meanwhile, Ajax are closely monitoring the situation involving Hato and do not rule out the possibility of his temporary return. However, it remains unclear whether Chelsea are prepared to consider a loan move for the young defender at this stage.

Reminder: Chelsea head coach Enzo Maresca explained that he substituted Marc Cucurella in the match against Aston Villa due to hamstring problems.
