“Wesley’s knee is not as bad as we thought so that’s good.' Chelsea manager Graham Potter says there is a chance Wesley Fofana will be fit for the World Cup after suffering a knee injury in CFC's UCL victory over AC Milan. More from GarrickOmar

Fofana was withdrawn in the 38th minute of the match after a collision with Milan forward Rafael Leao where he appeared to injure his knee.

The France international left Stamford Bridge on crutches with his knee in a brace, but Potter says the injury isn’t as bad as what they expected.“After the game of course you’re concerned. It’s considerably better than it could be but yeah, he will be missing for a few weeks. Pressed on the possibility of Fofana being fit for the World Cup, he added: “Yeah, that’s a possibility.

“It depends on how his rehab goes. I wouldn’t want to put too much of a timescale on it, but there’s a chance yeah.”Chelsea are preparing for their upcoming match against Wolverhampton Wanderers on Saturday where former strikerCosta, 34, played for Chelsea between 2014 and 2017 and won two Premier League titles during his time with the west London side.
