Wesley Fofana ready to play, could feature against Southampton

Chelsea center-back Wesley Fofana has missed several weeks due to injury but appears to be on the verge of returning to action.

Details: According to Fabrice Hawkins, the defender is now fit and will be part of the squad for Tuesday’s match against Southampton on February 25. However, it remains unclear whether he will start. Fofana has recovered ahead of schedule, allowing him to make an early return.

Meanwhile, pundit Paul Merson has stated that if Chelsea fails to win their next two matches—against relegation-threatened sides Southampton and Leicester—Enzo Maresca is highly likely to lose his job.

Reminder: The Premier League Matchweek 27 clash between Chelsea and Southampton will take place on Tuesday, February 25, kicking off at 21:15 CET at Stamford Bridge.
