Fofana faces several months out with knee injury

By

Chelsea defender Wesley Fofana faces several months on the sidelines after undergoing surgery on an anterior cruciate ligament surgery.

The France centre-back, 22, joined Chelsea from Leicester for £70m last summer.

Fofana was out more than four months after suffering a knee injury against AC Milan in the Champions League.

And during his time at Leicester he suffered a broken leg in a pre-season friendly in 2021.

He now faces another prolonged spell out of action – a major blow for the player and new boss Mauricio Pochettino.
