Wesley Fofana started the game against Aston Villa, but was eventually subbed off due to injury.

Fofana was subbed off for Benoit Badiashile on the hour mark, as he appeared to have suffered a hamstring injury.

Wesley Fofana sent out a positive message to Chelsea fans on Instagram after sustaining a hamstring issue against Villa.

He posted: “A slight muscle warning, as often happens after long injuries, nothing serious, the body is adjusting.

“We’ll come back stronger, as always. Trust your guy!”

Enzo Maresca however expects Fofana to be out for at least a month.

Maresca said: “Unfortunately, it is bad news. It is a hamstring problem and these kind of things usually require at least three, four or five weeks.”
