Twice within 12 months under two different managers Chelsea have now comprehensively defeated Italian opposition in the Champions League. The Blues' 3-0 win over AC Milan no doubt has felt like a real launchpad for Graham Potter's tenure as Chelsea's head coach. Players old and new made an impression, with Reece James, Wesley Fofana and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang landing on the scoresheet.
However, much like Chelsea's 2021/22 season win over Juventus, the Blues have been left with a tinge of sadness. In the west London side's win over the Old Lady last term, Ben Chilwell picked up an ACL injury that ended a very impressive run of games from the former Leicester man and all but ended his season.
Whether Wesley Fofana being forced off in the first half of Chelsea's win is quite as severe remains to be seen, but speculation initially highlights the potential of an ACL issue after the Frenchman stood caught in the ground as he challenged for the ball. His attempt to continue to play on may provide some reassurance that it isn't not as serious, but it was clear that following the match, Potter was concerned.
