Chelsea and France defender Wesley Fofana got injured in their 3-0 win over Italian champions AC Milan in the Uefa Champions League. The club head coach Graham Potter has however come out to say the injury is not a very serious one.
Wesley Fofana’s Injury not a Serious One- Graham Potter
The former Leicester City player suffered a knee injury but he is expected to return in “a few weeks”. The 21-year-old limped off shortly after scoring his first Blues goal in the Champions League win.
The £70m signing from Leicester City left the stadium on crutches but scans have shown he avoided serious damage. Chelsea’s coach shaking about the injury said: ”Wesley’s knee is not as bad as we thought. After the game, we were concerned.” “It will be a few weeks we think. It is considerably better than it could be.”
He was asked if the player could return before the start of the World Cup next month, Potter added: “Possibly, it depends on how his rehab goes. We wouldn’t want to put too much of a timescale on it, but there is a chance.”
He also confirmed that 31-year-old N’Golo Kante is nearing a return but emphasised that the club would not take any risks with the France midfielder.
