Summoned by the technical commissioner Didier Deschamps, Wesley Fofana (a presence with the French senior selection, ed.) is not certain of participating in the meeting of the transalpine national team. This, at least, is the opinion of Chelsea managers. According to colleagues of RMCthe London club asked the national team’s medical staff to carry out tests on the player. The cause is a blow to the shin received three weeks ago.
The former Saint-Étienne player, who played with the Blues despite this physical problem, is expected to remain at Clairefontaine after the tests scheduled for Monday evening.
Wesley Fofana has had a performance limited by injuries in recent seasons, which has affected the number of appearances for both the current and previous seasons: for him this year seven appearances with the Blues shirt, but zero in the previous season, conditional from the very serious knee injury that forced him to miss the entire season. 15 tokens collected, with 1 goal, in the 2022/23 season. However, the 23-year-old is considered by both the French and Chelsea leaders to be a player to focus heavily on.
These are those called up:
Goalkeepers: Maignan, Samba, Areola.
Defenders: Clauss, Digne, W. Fofana, T. Hernandez, Konaté, Koundé, Saliba, Upamecano
Midfielders: Camavinga, Fofana, Guendouzi, Koné, Tchouaméni, Zaire-Emery
Attackers: Barcola, Dembélé, Kolo Muani, Nkunku, Olise, Thuram
