Wesley Fofana likely out for the season due to injury

Chelsea's central defender Wesley Fofana, who missed significant time last season due to injuries, seems to be facing a similar scenario this season.

Details: Fofana started the current season as a regular in the lineup, playing a substantial number of matches. However, he suffered an injury that turned out to be more serious than initially thought. According to Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca, Fofana is likely sidelined for the remainder of the season.

Quote: "At first, we thought it wasn’t too serious, but then the test results came in. He has a hamstring issue, and we’ve lost him for a very, very long time," the Blues' head coach stated.

We recently reported that defender Ben Chilwell has become a concern for Chelsea under Enzo Maresca, as he does not meet the Italian's criteria. Despite this, the club failed to sell him during the summer. It seems likely that there will also be challenges in securing a transfer for the 28-year-old this winter.

Reminder: Previous reports indicated that the 28-year-old defender was included in a list of five players Chelsea plans to part with during the winter transfer window.
