Wesley Fofana Injury: Late call against Palace

Fofana (hamstring) could be available for the season opener against Crystal Palace on Sunday, coach Enzo Maresca said in the press conference, according to Football London. "He could be available. We will see."

Fofana has been back in team training since last week and is progressing well towards his return, as he will be a late call for Sunday's opener against Palace. This is good news for the Blues given the situation with injuries in their backline. Having Fofana fit again will offer a good option in defense for coach Enzo Maresca if the Frenchman manages to keep himself healthy.
