Wesley Fofana had to be substituted during Chelsea's friendly against Brentford as the French defender made his return from injury ahead of the resumption of the Premier League. The former Leicester star picked up a knee injury in the clash that took place behind closed doors, football.london understands.
The match took place on Tuesday as Fofana looked to continue his recovery, alongside teammates such as Reece James, having not featured for the Blues after suffering a knee injury against AC Milan in October. Chelsea ran out 5-1 winners during the clash, with a hat-trick from Kai Havertz over three sets of 45 minutes.
However, the knee injury to Fofana comes as a blow before the return to action. The severity of the issue is yet to be discovered, though there is concern within the Blues camp.
