Chelsea Key Defender Withdraws From France Squad With Knee Issue

Chelsea’s Wesley Fofana Withdraws from French National Team

Wesley⁤ Fofana, a defender for Chelsea FC, will not be participating‌ in France’s upcoming Nations League matches against Israel and Italy.

Initially ⁤included in Didier Deschamps’ ‌23-player roster ⁢announced earlier this month, Fofana has had to step⁣ back due to discomfort in his ⁣left knee. This pain surfaced following Chelsea’s recent 1-1 draw with Arsenal‍ on Sunday.

At just 23 years old, Fofana has endured a challenging journey with⁣ knee issues; he missed significant ‍parts of the previous season due to a severe injury. Current Chelsea ⁤manager‌ Enzo Maresca remarked‌ that this injury could lead to persistent discomfort​ “for⁤ the rest of his career.”

The French Football Federation (FFF) confirmed on ⁣Monday ⁣that ⁣Inter Milan’s​ Benjamin Pavard will take Fofana’s spot on the national team.

Fofana’s Season Performance

This season, Fofana has featured prominently for⁢ Chelsea, ⁣making starts​ in 10 out of their 11 Premier⁣ League matches. He was absent only during October’s match against Liverpool due to suspension.

International Career Highlights

The young defender debuted at the senior international level last year during France’s Euro ⁣2024 qualifying match against Gibraltar—contributing to a solid 3-0 ⁣victory. So far, this remains his sole appearance‍ representing his nation.

France’s ​Position in Group A2

The French team ‍is currently placed second in Group A2 as they head into the‌ final fixtures of their campaign.
