Wesley Fofana Withdraws from France Squad

Chelsea defender Wesley Fofana has withdrawn from the France national team ahead of their UEFA Nations League matches against Israel and Italy due to knee pain. The French Football Federation confirmed that Fofana is experiencing discomfort following a recent match against Arsenal. Chelsea's medical team is prioritizing his fitness, and they have decided he should remain in London to avoid any risks. Fofana's withdrawal raises concerns for Fantasy Premier League players, as it is hoped that this decision is precautionary and not indicative of a more serious injury. Christopher Nkunku is the only other Chelsea player included in Didier Deschamps’ squad, with the first match taking place on Thursday. If Fofana's condition does not improve, Loïc Badé is expected to be a potential replacement for him.
