Chelsea defender Wesley Fofana will be unavailable for the next 12 days after showing concussion symptoms following the recent Carabao Cup match against Lincoln.
According to Daily Mail journalist Kieran Gill, the French centre-back is expected to miss Chelsea’s upcoming clashes with Brighton, Benfica, and Liverpool. His absence begins with Saturday’s Premier League meeting against Brighton.
Fofana’s injury opens the door for 17-year-old Josh Acheampong, who has just returned to training after overcoming illness, to potentially step into the squad.
Head coach Enzo Maresca now faces a defensive reshuffle at a critical stage of the season. With Levi Colwill and Tosin Adarabioyo also sidelined, Chelsea enter a challenging run of fixtures short on central defensive options.
