Chelsea defender Wesley Fofana’s season has come to an end after undergoing surgery to correct an injury to his hamstring.
Fofana’s new injury came as a surprise and big blow to Chelsea fans when manager Enzo Maresca announced in a pre-Tottenham game press conference that the defender was unavailable due to injury.
Fofana had just returned to action after 12 weeks of being sidelined due to a previous injury. He started Chelsea’s game against his former club Leicester City in March and helped the Blues to a 1-0 win keeping a clean sheet in the process.
Chelsea’s statement regarding Fofana read: “The club can confirm that defender Wesley Fofana has today undergone successful hamstring surgery.”
“Wesley 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.”
