Chelsea have just announced their touring group for the trip to America, and inevitably – there’s bad news.
Reece James has been left out of the initial trip because of illness, and Armando Broja is also for what sounds like precautionary reasons as he works his way back from a cruciate injury.
But the headline has to be Wesley Fofana. His injury issues were well known before he came to Chelsea, and he followed that by spending a healthy chunk of his first season at the club out hurt.
Now it seems there’s a fresh issue – and we’re very worried about the overall picture of his health given he’s missed so much of the last few years.
Wesley Fofana, Bettinelli and Broja all not fit enough to travel. A concern about Fofana picking up a knee injury. Reece James unwell and didn't travel with the squad. #CFC https://t.co/n2PJGGRFFA

We don’t have too many other details yet, but we’re all itching to find out more. Let’s pray it’s a similar minor issue to the one that Broja seems to have suffered.
Only Nizaar Kinsella so far seems to have any information, and he says it’s a knee problem. We will find out more in Mauricio Pochettino’s press conference later this week.
