Chelsea defender Wesley Fofana received a call-up to the France national team after a long absence from the Les Blues due to injuries.

However, Fofana decided against taking part in the international break, and decided to focus on his recovery after missing an entire season due to injury.

The French team has released a statement: “After an exchange with Didier Deschamps, Wesley Fofana will finally remain at Chelsea’s disposal and take advantage of the international break to follow a treatment protocol, linked to the injuries which kept him away from the pitch for a long time last season.”

Fofana seems a key player for Enzo Maresca, and has played every minute in the Premier League this season, although he’s yet to feature in the Conference League.

Wesley Fofana has barely featured in his two years at Chelsea due to injury. He has started the season brightly, and we hope it continues that way.
