Wesley Fofana has made hints that he might play again for Chelsea very soon. The 21-year-old defender strained his knee during the Blues' Champions League match against AC Milan in early October.
Just seconds after scoring his first goal for the club, he was forced to leave the action during the first half of the fight. The World Cup's participation of the France youth international who left Stamford Bridge on crutches was immediately called into question.
Fofana and Reece James were transported to Dubai to continue their recovery and rehabilitation in an effort to get back to full fitness in time for the competition. After releasing a status report on his knee injury to social media, the Frenchman also appears to be moving in the right direction.
Fofana uploaded a photo to his Snapchat story of his right foot, two trainers on a grey floor and an orange football boot with yellow accents. In the image, which is captioned with 'Done' and a green tick emoji, a strip of blue can be seen in the top right-hand corner.
The defender's post drops a huge hint amid his road to recovery, suggesting a number of promising signs. Whether Fofana has completed the next stage of his rehabilitation, completed a fitness test, participated in training for the first team since the knock or just decided to boast about his array of footwear, there is no confirmation of the stage in recovery he is currently at.
Following Fofana's injury against the Italian giants, Graham Potter was hopeful that his knock wasn't as bad as first thought. Speaking to the press, the Blues boss said: "Wesley's knee's not as bad as we thought after the game, so that's good because it was a cause for concern at the time, but it will still be a few weeks, I think.
"It's considerably better than it could be, but guess he will obviously be missing for a few weeks. It's just a knee strain, so there's a possibility we might see him play again before the World Cup.
"It depends on how his rehab goes, I don't want to put too much of a timescale on it, but there's a chance of that."
