Chelsea: Enzo Maresca reveals conditions for January transfer after Wesley Fofana injury update Enzo Maresca believes Chelsea do not need to sign a centre-back this month, despite Wesley Fofana’s injury.
Fofana has been sidelined since early December with a serious hamstring injury and while the player himself is optimistic about the speed of his recovery, Maresca reiterated on Friday that the Frenchman could miss the rest of the season.
However, as well as first-choice centre-back Levi Colwill, Maresca still has Axel Disasi, Tosin Adarabioyo and youngster Josh Acheampong as options in his existing squad.
The Blues are interested in Crystal Palace captain Marc Guehi but feel a deal this month would be difficult, and also have a recall clause on Trevor Chalobah, who is on loan at Selhurst Park.
“At this moment I think we are OK,” the Italian said, when asked whether the Blues need to sign a central defender before the window closes at the end of January.
