Wesley Fofana Injuries

'He will be checked today when he comes in. The lads are reporting [to Cobham] shortly.'

'The change of Tosin (Adarabioyo) was because we needed to change Wes, so that was forced on us for sure. Wes has a problem in his eye. In this moment, it is quite bad - he struggles to see a little bit. But hopefully, he can be OK and available for Saturday.' He took part in the session yesterday, and he's completely fine.'

'Wes suffered a concussion the other day against Lincoln [and will miss the Brighton game].'

'Wes had a muscle problem a few days [ago], and we are waiting for more checks.' 'Wesley has undergone successful hamstring surgery. He was assessed by specialists this week after the 24-year-old suffered an injury of the muscle. Following that assessment, it was concluded that an operation would be required.' 'Unfortunately, Wes will be out for the rest of the season.' 'He is training with us. I don't think he's ready to get minutes in the next two games - against Leverkusen and AC Milan - but probably, he can be available for the Palace game [in week one]. It is big news because we started last season in the first five or six months with Wes on the right of our two central defenders.' 'Fofana could be available for Crystal Palace, yes, and we are very happy because he is a very important player.' 'He could be available. We will see.' 'Wes was on the bench, but was just on the bench to be with us, and the plan was for him not to get any minutes. Now, hopefully, for the next one, we can use Wes for some minutes.'

'It's a muscular problem, looks like a hamstring, we'll see.' 'We don't have any update at the moment on Fofana. Hopefully, we can get some more news in the next few days, but for sure he will be out for the next few weeks for sure.' 'They are both slowly getting better, but as we said recently, it is going to be weeks for them. They are still far [from a return to action].' 'Both are still out and will still be out for a long period.' 'With Wes, we don't know exactly how long he could be out for, but he has a hamstring injury, and unfortunately, we are going to lose him for a while. He could be out for the season, yes.' 'Wesley has started to work with us again as of two days ago, but we cannot rush him, and he will still need at least two or three weeks working before he can be ready to play.'

'Wesley has undergone anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction surgery. He will now begin his recovery and work with the club's medical department at Cobham during his rehab phase.' 'Unfortunately, I think it is difficult to see Wes playing this season, but you never know.'

'He had a bit of an issue with his hamstring yesterday travelling down, so it's more of a precaution on that one.' 'Wes has been training this week, so he's good.'

'I'm not sure if he will still be able to meet up with France. He was fatiguing at the end and went down. We thought it was cramp, so let's hope it is, but we haven't assessed it yet fully.' 'Wesley is going to miss the game because his hamstring is still a little bit tight. I think there's a chance for Tuesday with him.'

'Wesley had a little setback, which can sometimes happen at the very last stage of rehab, so he will be [out for] a couple of weeks.' 'Wesley has been training partly with the team, and he'll be stepping that up next week.' 'No one else is back, but they're all getting closer and closer. Wesley has been training with the team.'

'The only disappointing part was Wesley's injury. He needs a scan tomorrow, but at the moment, we're obviously concerned for him... fingers crossed.' 'It's just a knee strain, so there's a possibility we might see him play again before the World Cup. It depends on how his rehab goes, I don't want to put too much of a timescale on it, but there's a chance.' 'He’s progressing where he was. I don’t think we will see him before the World Cup in terms of playing for Chelsea.' 'Wesley is a little bit further behind (Reece James), but not too far.'
