New Injury of Fofana: Chelsea Goalkeeper Once Again Becomes Hero of Scandal.
According to The Sun: In the Carabao Cup match against Lincoln City, Wesley Fofana received a serious blow from his teammate Filip Jorgensen just a few minutes after the start of the game.
Sky SportsFofana, 24 years old, required medical assistance after the incident which occurred in the second minute of the match. After the assistance, the game was temporarily halted, but he was able to continue playing.
This episode is yet another unpleasant event in Chelsea's season, which is already filled with goalkeeper problems.
Fans on social media did not stay silent:
“Fofana back in action, and Jorgensen hit him in the face.”
“Sell Jorgensen to the first bidder.”
“Switched to the Chelsea game, and Lincoln just hit the post, then Jorgensen injured Fofana.”
“Jorgensen injured Fofana, what are we doing?”
“Jorgensen is worse than Sanchez.”
Chelsea's senior goalkeeper Robert Sanchez is also facing criticism for his performances this season. He was sent off during the defeat against Manchester United for a foul on Bryan Mbeumo.

Premier League legend Jamie Carragher noted that “Chelsea won't be able to compete for the title if the Spaniard remains the first-choice goalkeeper”.
Jorgensen joined Chelsea in July 2024 for £20.7 million, moving from Villarreal. He played 12 matches last season, but only 6 of them were in the Premier League.

In conclusion, the Chelsea team arrived for the third round match at Sincil Bank without striker Marc Gui, although he was eligible to participate due to changes in the rules.
Previously, he was on loan at Sunderland but was recalled due to the injury of Liam Delap.
The situation at Chelsea is becoming increasingly complicated, especially considering the goalkeeper woes, who seem unable to find their form. Fans are already actively expressing their concerns about the developments, watching the team's performances this season.
