Wesley Fofana
24-Year-Old
Chelsea
Premier
Fit for bench
Fofana (hamstring) is on the bench for Sunday's match against Crystal Palace. "Wes was on the bench, but was just on the bench to be with us, and the plan was for him not to get any minutes. Now, hopefully, for the next one, we can use Wes for some minutes."
ANALYSIS
Fofana has made his way back to the team sheet for the club's opener after dealing with a hamstring issue throughout preseason, with the defender earning a spot on the bench. This is good news after he was a late call, adding depth to the flanks of their defense. He will likely continue in a rotational role, filling in for Reece James and Marc Cucurella when in need of rest or injured.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could have left Chelsea
Fofana considered his departure from Chelsea in the summer, according to French outlet Free Foot.
ANALYSIS
The 23-year-old recently stated he considered leaving Chelsea to join his hometown club, Marseille, this summer, but ultimately, he decided to stay with the Stamford Bridge club. Fofana will fight for a first-team role at Chelsea, but the center-back has his work cut out since he has a lot of competition at the same position.
