Wesley Fofana suffered a hamstring injury during Chelsea’s clash with Aston Villa in December. Maresca had previously hinted the defender could miss the rest of the season, though the Blues hope he could return before then.

Noni Madueke has joined the long list of Chelsea players who are currently nursing injuries. The 22-year-old winger appeared to suffer a hamstring problem during the Blues' defeat to Brighton at the Amex Stadium on Friday night.

Chelsea got back to winning ways on Monday night. Pedro Neto and a Cole Palmer-enforced Aaron Wan-Bissaka own goal saw Chelsea beat West Ham 2-1 and duly move back into fourth in the Premier League table. Still, the three points may have come at a cost for Enzo Maresca, with both of Nicolas Jackson and Marc Guiu offering cause for concern.
