So, Wesley Fofana is out for the remainder of this season after present process surgical procedure on his hamstring.
Fofana’s damage historical past at Chelsea has been completely horrible and I don’t suppose we will depend on him going ahead. Chelsea should now prioritise shopping for a sure kind of profile at centre again, and it needs to 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 surface trying in, it seems to be like Fofana might have ignored medical recommendation after which maybe made the difficulty worse. I get it, he needs to play. But additionally, the membership may have to take a harder 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 bins and comes with extra expertise. I see this place now being simply as essential 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 essential participant if he might ever keep match.
Some gamers are simply extra damage susceptible than others but additionally, this exhibits how essential a full restoration plan and timeframe is. It might simply be very unlucky however the actuality is that if you wish to delay and maintain a taking part in profession, it’s a must 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 season and I consider it’s going to turn into extra of a precedence now too.
