Chelsea defender Wesley Fofana sends cryptic social media message as he recovers from 'fatigue'

Wesley Fofana's Chelsea career to date has been plagued by injury. After joining from Leicester City last summer, a serious knee injury ruled the defender out for the best part of four months.

The 22-year-old finally returned to first-team action for a 45-minute cameo during the Blues' defeat to Southampton last month. Since then, his return has coincided with an uptick in form for Graham Potter's side with a number of impressive performances, including starts in all three of Chelsea's recent wins against Leeds United, Borussia Dortmund and Leicester City.

Fofana also started the Blues' final game before the international break against Everton, but was withdrawn late on due to "fatigue". The French star was later spotted in the Stamford Bridge dugout with an ice pack on his right thigh, leaving many Chelsea supporters to fear the worst.
