David Fofana - knee
Chelsea forward David Fofana (22) is currently recovering from a knee (meniscus) surgery, which he underwent in December 2024. The Ivorian striker, who had been on loan at Turkish club Göztepe, was recalled by Chelsea in early February 2025. The club confirmed his return as he continues his rehabilitation.

Fofana’s loan spell was cut short due to the length of his expected recovery, with the forward unlikely to be fit until March or April. Once back, he is expected to play a limited role for Chelsea for the remainder of the 2024/25 season, primarily serving as a backup option. (Source: The Athletic)
David Datro Fofana's loan recall is official now. He is expected to be out for the season with a major knee injury and it frees up an international loan spot for someone else like Joao Felix.
