Wesley Fofana is the latest Chelsea player to suffer an injury, and for him it comes after missing a period of six weeks before the domestic break too. The Frenchman didn't play after hurting his knee in the home match against AC Milan in early October and has been in gradual recovery since.
He wasn't fit enough to be risked as part of the side that played a friendly against Aston Villa in Abu Dhabi and is now expected to miss the return of Premier League action with Chelsea playing Bournemouth on December 27.
The 22-year-old has had a slow start to life in a blue shirt since his big money move from Leicester in the summer but has a seven-year deal to offer continued security to him despite a rotten run of luck. Due to recovering from a broken leg and tactical shifts between Thomas Tuchel and Graham Potter, Fofana has only played four times, twice in the league and twice in Europe.
