Chelsea have received a boost as it's emerged Wesley Fofana has avoided serious injury after breaking down during their Champions League win against AC Milan.

The defender hobbled out of Chelsea's 3-0 win over AC Milan on Wednesday on crutches and wearing a protective knee brace.

He was sent for a scan to assess the scale of the problem which occurred while chasing back against Milan striker Rafael Leao in the first half and forced him off after 38 minutes.

But it now appears the damage may be as limited as a sprain on his knee and while he is expected to miss Saturday's home game with Wolves he will not be out long term. The Frenchman is set to be sidelined for three weeks, says The Sun.

He also appears set to miss the return fixture against AC Milan, as well as games against Aston Villa, Brentford, and Manchester United.
