Solid defensively in defeat Fofana recorded one shot (zero on goal) in Sunday's 1-0 defeat to Sunderland. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 92nd minute.

He notably helped contain Brian Brobbey during a dangerous first-half counterattack.

Wins 11 duels in draw Fofana registered one cross (zero accurate) and two tackles in Saturday's 2-2 draw versus Hull City.

Impact Fofana sat out the cup tie in midweek and returned to the back line against Hull, extending a run in which he has started every game since his suspension was served. He made two tackles, one interception and three clearances, won 11 duels (six aerials) and completed 80 passes with three accurate long balls among them, and he was at his most useful when he broke forward with the ball to relieve the pressure of a low block. The afternoon ended in a draw after Chelsea conceded twice in quick succession before the interval, though he was one of the few to emerge with credit.

Records 10 clearances Fofana registered three tackles (three won), 10 clearances and two interceptions in Sunday's 2-1 defeat versus Arsenal.

Impact Fofana produced a highly active defensive display, leading Chelsea with 10 clearances while winning each of his three tackles. He has registered 17 clearances and three interceptions across his two Premier League appearances this season, showing the ball-winning and aerial qualities he can provide when available. His ability to deal with pressure inside the defensive third should keep him prominent in Chelsea's center-back rotation.

Impact Fofana made his first Premier League start of the season after returning from suspension and immediately produced a busy defensive display, recording seven clearances and one interception. He was replaced after 68 minutes as Chelsea reshaped the back line, but his combination of pace, physicality and ability to defend aggressively should keep him firmly involved in the competition for starting minutes.

Chelsea player ratings vs PSG: Filip Jorgensen clangers leave battling Blues with Champions League mountain to climb as Liam Rosenior's lack of experience is brutally exposed

Should start Wednesday Fofana (undisclosed) makes the matchday squad for Wednesday's Champions League clash against Paris Saint-Germain, the club posted.

Impact Fofana was given the day off during Saturday's FA Cup clash against Wrexham to keep him fresh for Wednesday's Champions League showdown with Paris Saint-Germain. The center-back has been a regular fixture in the Blues' back line since coach Liam Rosenior took charge and is expected to step right back into the starting XI for the high-stakes matchup at the Parc des Princes. Fofana has logged two assists, 17 tackles, 34 interceptions and 93 clearances across his 22 appearances in all competitions and should be extra fired up for this one as a well-known Marseille fan.

Out against Wrexham Fofana (undisclosed) is ruled out for Saturday's FA Cup clash against Wrexham.

The defender had started three of the last four matches across all competitions before the setback and is hoping to return in time for Wednesday's Champions League clash against PSG. Mamadou Sarr or Tosin Adarabioyo could step into the starting XI if he remains unavailable.

Limps off midweek Fofana left Wednesday's match against Aston Villa with an apparent issue, Bobby Vincent of Mirror Sport reports.

Impact Fofana could be questionable for upcoming action if he has picked up an injury after getting hurt in a 79-minute outing against the Villans. The defender has started in three of the last four contests across all competitions, sitting out only due to suspension. Both Mamadou Sarr and Tosin Adarabioyo are alternatives to play at center-back if Fofana is ruled out due to his issue.
