The 22-year-old was forced off during a behind-closed-doors friendly win over Premier League rivals Brentford at Cobham, a game in which Kai Havertz scored a hat-trick.
Fofana’s opening few months at Stamford Bridge have proven frustrating after picking up a knee injury against AC Milan in October, forcing him to miss the World Cup.
The defender, who only returned to full training during the international break, is now set for a scan but posted a message on Instagram in which he appeared to downplay the severity of the injury.
“Nothing bad, champion, not even 1 month, we’re back to break everything,” he wrote in response to a post detailing his injury.
Manager Graham Potter is scheduled to hold a press conference on Friday ahead of Chelsea’s return to domestic action at home to Bournemouth on December 27.
