Chelsea’s Wesley Fofana has had a very impressive return from injury, and his performances have been highlighted in a recent analytical article from Sky Sports.

They have honed in on a number of positive stats that are key to when Fofana is playing for Chelsea, and when he is not.

With FFP a concern, a look at how much Chelsea can make by selling loan players alone!

One of those is his progressive passing and movements forward with the ball, being one of the best in the league currently.

Fofana is making more passes in the opposition half per 90 minutes than any other Chelsea centre-backs this season – and, crucially, through his ball-carrying.

As seen in the image below, Fofana ranks fourth of all players in the Premier League this season for carries per 90 minutes, behind only Manchester City duo Jack Grealish and Bernardo Silva and Newcastle’s Allan Saint-Maximin.
