Enzo Maresca has confirmed that Wesley Fofana can be back on the team in a few weeks.

"Wesley Fofana has started to work with us again as of two days ago," the Chelsea boss told a press conference.

"It’s good he is back working with us but we cannot rush him and he will still need at least two or three weeks working before he can be ready to play. But, of course, it’s great to see Wes back with us.

"He has started with us but he still needs time before he can play. Seeing Wes with the group though, with the players, it’s a very good feeling for everyone."

The fear was that Fofana would be sidelined for the season after picking up an injury back in December. If he returns to the pitch in two weeks, he will have missed just three months.
