Chelsea’s Wesley Fofana hasn’t featured for France despite being called up by manager Didier Deschamps for all three international breaks this season.
The centre-back wanted to focus on following ‘treatment protocol’ suggested by Chelsea and that saw him withdraw from the national team squad in September.
There were fitness concerns over his involvement last month, but the 23-year-old stayed with the team, without making an appearance.
Fofana’s involvement with France for November’s international break is ‘very uncertain’, according to RMC Sport journalist Fabrice Hawkins.
Therefore, Enzo Maresca’s side want the player to undergo tests this morning in London this morning.
Fofana has struggled with injuries since joining the Premier League side in 2022. Hawkins says Chelsea are determined to avoid any issues with their player.
Therefore, ‘pessimism reigns’ over his availability for France to face Israel and Italy in the UEFA Nations League this month, and it’s expected he’ll withdraw.
