Chelsea has announced that defender Wesley Fofana has undergone successful surgery on his hamstring, following a recent setback with the injury.

Chelsea announced that defender Wesley Fofana has undergone surgery on his hamstring injury. The club stated, “Wesley was assessed by specialists this week after the 24-year-old suffered an injury of the muscle. Following that assessment, it was concluded that an operation would be required.”

Fofana will now begin his recovery and rehabilitation with the club's medical staff at Cobham over the coming weeks. The 24-year-old has struggled with injuries this season, playing only 14 Premier League games for Enzo Maresca's side. Chelsea's recent 1-0 win over Tottenham Hotspur moved them up to fourth in the league standings with eight matches remaining, but Fofana's absence will be felt in the team's defensive lineup.
