Chelsea are next in action against West Ham on the final day of the January transfer window, and the final week headling into Deadline Day could prove a busy one for the club. Her

Maresca has recently recalled Trevoh Chalobah from his season-long loan at Crystal Palace to provide more reinforcements after Benoit Badiashile also suffered an injury. The Chelsea academy graduate made his return during Monday’s (20 January) victory against Wolves and earned the Player of the Match award for his performance.

With critical fixtures on the horizon, the recovery of players like Romeo Lavia and Wesley Fofana could be instrumental in Chelsea’s pursuit of success this season. The club remains vigilant, balancing the urgency of the situation with the long-term health of their players, ensuring they return only when fully fit.

News of Fofana's progress comes at a time when Maresca is struggling for players in the middle of the pitch. Enzo Fernandez is allegedly two weeks away from a return to action, with Romeo Lavia not due back until a later date. The duo are said to have muscle injuries.

The loan of striker David Datro Fofana has been cut short at Göztepe SK, according to a report from The Athletic, which follows earlier reports from Turkey on Thursday.

The Blues have learned that Wesley Fofana is back on the grass in training. He is still doing individual work, but he has made good progress from his knee problem. Per The Mail, he will be back when Chelsea are in their run-in during February and March. Fofana will be eased back, as manager Enzo Maresca wants to take no risks.
