Wesley Fofana News: Fit for bench

Fofana (hamstring) is on the bench for Sunday's match against Crystal Palace. "Wes was on the bench, but was just on the bench to be with us, and the plan was for him not to get any minutes. Now, hopefully, for the next one, we can use Wes for some minutes."

Fofana has made his way back to the team sheet for the club's opener after dealing with a hamstring issue throughout preseason, with the defender earning a spot on the bench. This is good news after he was a late call, adding depth to the flanks of their defense. He will likely continue in a rotational role, filling in for Reece James and Marc Cucurella when in need of rest or injured.
