Bigger picture for Chelsea
After Armando Broja sustained a serious knee injury, it became imperative for the Blues to strengthen their attacking options. In addition to Kai Havertz and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Fofana will give Potter another offensive option.
Chelsea play Nottingham Forest in their next Premier League game and that will come too soon for Fofana to make his debut for the club.
