Chelsea's Wesley Fofana undergoes surgery, sidelined for season

Chelsea defender Wesley Fofana will miss the rest of the season after undergoing successful hamstring surgery. He had recently returned from a prior injury but suffered a new setback, prompting specialists to recommend the operation. Fofana has only made 14 appearances this season due to ongoing injury issues. The club is focused on supporting his recovery process at their training facility. Chelsea currently sits fourth in the Premier League and is aiming for Champions League qualification despite the challenges posed by injuries to key players. The team's situation is compounded by another injury to teammate Roméo Lavia, raising concerns over their depth as they navigate a busy schedule ahead.
