Chelsea: Enzo Maresca reveals Wesley Fofana injury latest as defender pushes for early return Enzo Maresca has reiterated his fear that Wesley Fofana could miss the rest of Chelsea’s season - but says he hopes the centre-back will prove him wrong.
Maresca told a press conference that the France international would be out for several months and could even miss the rest of the campaign, but Fofana later insisted in a message on social media that he could be back within six weeks.
Maresca and Fofana were involved in a public disagreement over the timeframe put on the latter’s absence after he suffered a serious hamstring injury against Aston Villa last month.
Chelsea also have a recall option on Trevoh Chalobah’s loan at Palace, while Aaron Anselmino has been recalled from Boca Juniors, though the teenager is not ready to be involved against Morecambe this weekend.
“We speak the same language in terms of how we communicate between each other in English and in French, so it has been quite clear,” Maresca said, ahead of Saturday’s FA Cup third round tie against Morecambe.
