Chelsea centre-back Wesley Fofana is back in training after a prolonged spell on the sidelines due to a hamstring injury that required surgery in April.

The €80m signing had been sidelined since March 16 with a hamstring injury that required surgery in April.

Signed for a huge fee from Leicester City in 2022 at 21, Fofana has struggled with injuries ever since.

Now 24, Chelsea are yet to see the best of Fofana due to persistent injury problems.

Blues fans are happy to see him return, and are hopeful he can stay fit this time.

See some comments from Chelsea fans on Reddit:

One fan said: “We can fight for 1st with him and Reece fully healthy and managed.”

Another said: “Best CB in the squad if he can just stay healthy.
Unc and Trevoh are good but they aren’t in the same class as Wes and Levi.”

Another fan commented: “Mark my words, wes will have the biggest season of his career.”

One fan warned: “He should be eased back in, same way Maresca managed Reece’s minutes last season.”
