Wesley Fofana offers some positive injury news to Chelsea fans amid concerns over Enzo Fernandez & Romeo Lavia.
Maresca has recently recalled Trevoh Chalobah from his season-long loan at Crystal Palace to provide more reinforcements after Benoit Badiashile also suffered an injury. The Chelsea academy graduate made his return during Monday’s (20 January) victory against Wolves and earned the Player of the Match award for his performance.
News of Fofana's progress comes at a time when Maresca is struggling for players in the middle of the pitch. Enzo Fernandez is allegedly two weeks away from a return to action, with Romeo Lavia not due back until a later date. The duo are said to have muscle injuries.

Per The Mail, he will be back when Chelsea are in their run-in during February and March. Fofana will be eased back, as manager Enzo Maresca wants to take no risks.
