So, Wesley Fofana is out for the remainder of this season after present process surgical procedure on his hamstring.
Fofana’s harm historical past at Chelsea has been completely horrible and I don’t assume we will depend on him going ahead. Chelsea should now prioritise shopping for a sure sort of profile at centre again, and it must be a bodily front-foot and dominant centre again.
This case was very unusual. Enzo Maresca dominated Fofana out for the season again in January for Fofana to publicly undermine that and say he was coming again. We don’t know the ins and outs right here however from the skin trying in, it appears like Fofana might have ignored medical recommendation after which maybe made the difficulty worse. I get it, he desires to play. But in addition, the membership would possibly have to take a more durable stance with this stuff.
No matter has occurred Chelsea should now give attention to shopping for a brand new and dependable centre again who ticks all of the containers and comes with extra expertise. I see this place now being simply as vital as the brand new striker and the goalkeeper place.
I fear too that Romeo Lavia is heading the identical means now with accidents. Each of them are made from glass and we’re simply carrying them proper now. Not giving up on Lavia simply but as a result of he’s youthful and has time on his facet. He’s additionally such an vital participant if he might ever keep match.
Some gamers are simply extra harm susceptible than others but in addition, this exhibits how vital a full restoration plan and timeframe is. It might simply be very unlucky however the actuality is that if you wish to extend and maintain a taking part in profession, it’s important to take care of your self the very best methods you’ll be able to.
Chelsea will up their seek for a brand new centre again this summer time and I imagine it is going to turn into extra of a precedence now too.
