Chelsea team news from Enzo Maresca will only include Wesley Fofana once a week until January
has started every single league fixture for Chelsea this season, and Maresca is said to have ‘fallen in love’ with the defender.reports that he has had to reach an agreement with his staff that he will only play once a week until January 2025.That arrangement is designed to ease any injury worries, after Fofana spent the majority of the last two seasons on the sidelines.
The Frenchman was absent for the whole of last season after suffering an ACL tear, and he was left out of Chelsea’s initial squad for the Europa Conference League in a bid to manage his fitness.Fofana was an unused substitute for France on Thursday night as Didier Deschamps’ men beat Israel 4-1.The 23-year-old is suspended after picking up a fifth yellow card of the season during Chelsea’s 1-1 draw with Nottingham Forest.
That will force Maresca to change his preferred back line, which has conceded just eight goals in the league so far this season. Tosin Adarabioyo looks likely to deputise for Fofana at Anfield at the heart of defence. Speaking after Chelsea’s 2-0 win over West Ham in September, Maresca said of Fofana: “Wes is a player I really love and we love with Wes because he is doing fantastic after one year of injury."He added: "For any player that is out for a year, it is not easy and he is doing top. This is the only thing we want from him.”
