Wesley Fofana appears to have sensationally rubbished Enzo Maresca’s claim that the Chelsea defender will miss the rest of the season with a hamstring injury.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Frenchman has not played football<\/a> since picking up a hamstring issue in Chelsea’s 3-0 win over Aston Villa<\/a> at the start of December.<\/p>\n

Blues boss Enzo Maresca<\/a> initially ruled Fofana out for a month before their draw with Crystal Palace<\/a>. However, Maresca then revealed the defender ‘could miss the rest of the season’.<\/p>\n

“We don\u2019t know exactly,” Maresca said when asked about Fofana’s injury. “But having a test, we realised it was worst than what we thought at the beginning. It is hamstring and unfortunately, we are going to lose him for a while.”<\/p>\n

However, reports from French outlet L’Equipe claimed Chelsea’s medical team suggested Fofana underwent surgery for the hamstring issue.<\/p>\n

Surgery would rule Fofana out for at least three months. Fofana is also said to be against the idea of going under the knife.<\/p>\n

Wesley Fofana Injury Update: Defender Appears To Rubbish Maresca’s Season-Ending Claim<\/h3>\n

Days after Maresca’s season-ending injury claim, it appears Fofana has responded to a fan on Instagram claiming it isn’t true.<\/p>\n

After a fan account sent the injury update to what appears to be Fofana’s official Instagram account, Fofana seemingly responded in French: “It\u2019s not true!<\/p>\n

“I\u2019m not out for the rest of the season, I don\u2019t know why he [Maresca] said that. I will be back in 4-6 weeks.”<\/p>\n

\u201cThat's not true! I'm not out for the rest of the season I don't know why he said that but it's not true I'm back in 4-6 weeks\u201d<\/p>\n
