Chelsea centre-back Wesley Fofana has returned to individual training as he bids his way back from a hamstring injury. injury as soon as possible.
Fofana was not worried at first about the injury he suffered in early December, but after a period of silence, Chelsea fans were shocked by the manager Enzo Maresca's claim that the quarterback could be out for the rest of the season.
This caused a confused reaction from Fofana and prompted further clarification from the bosswho admitted that Fofana did not agree with the assessment given by Chelseamedical staff i.
In an incentive for Fofana's request to return before March, Daily Mail state that he is already back at the bar participating in individual sessions.
Fofana is running through training and is on track to return before the end of the campaign, when he could face a battle to reclaim his starting position from returning loanee Trevoh Chalobah.
Injuries are a growing concern for Maresca, who were without defender Levi Colwill and Midfield duo Enzo Fernandez and Romeo Lavia for the 3-1 win over Wolverhampton Wanderers. With Chelsea already short on numbers in midfield, there have been calls for the Blues to recall either Andrey Santos or Lesley Ugochukwu from their loan spells with Strasbourg and Southampton respectively.
Athletics expect Fernandez to miss “a couple of weeks at most”, but there are significant concerns about Lavia, who could be out “much longer”.
Lavia has struggled horribly with injuries since his move to Chelsea in 2023. He has made just 13 appearances for the Blues in all competitions, missing almost all of last season due to a series of fitness issues.
