Enzo Maresca officially confirms new defender may be on his way to Chelsea this January
Following Wesley Fofana’s injury, which could keep him out for the remainder of the season, Enzo Maresca advised that CHELSEA look for defensive reinforcements in January.
The 24-year-old has had trouble staying healthy since joining the Blues in 2022, but he has been performing well for the majority of the season and has established himself as a vital member of the Enzo Maresca team.
Fofana had started all 12 of the Premier League matches he has played in since the start of the season, completing the full 90 minutes on 10 occasions in that time frame.
Fofana could be out for the entire season with an injury much worse than they originally feared, and now the Italian boss admits that he may have to delve into that transfer kitty this January window and add to his side.
He said: ‘For sure, Wes is a huge loss. I don’t think this kind of injury can be compared to the rest. This one is muscle and previously he hasn’t had any muscle problems, so it’s completely different
“Probably with Wes (Fofana) and Benoit (Badiashile) injuries, we will see if something is going to happen [in the transfer market],”
