Wesley Fofana - illness

Chelsea defender Wesley Fofana (25) will miss Sunday’s clash against Manchester City after being ruled out with illness. The centre-back is reportedly suffering from a fever and has not recovered in time to be available for selection. The issue is considered minor, and Chelsea are hopeful Fofana can return quickly, potentially in time for Wednesday’s match against Fulham. (Source: Nizaar Kinsella, BBC)
