Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca has confirmed a hamstring injury will rule centre-back Wesley Fofana out for the rest of the season.

On Saturday, the club confirmed the 24-year-old France defender had undergone "successful surgery".

While Chelsea will have to do without Fofana, Maresca is hopeful midfielder Romeo Lavia and striker Marc Guiu could play again before the end of the campaign.

"Unfortunately, Wes will be out for the rest of the season," said the Blues boss, before Thursday's Europa Conference League quarter-final first leg in Poland against Legia Warsaw.

"Hopefully we can get [back] Romeo very soon. I don't know if for the next game, but he looks quite good in terms of being back soon.

"We need to support both and then at the end of the season we will see.

"We have good news on Marc. From today he looks quite good, much better, and he can be back before the season finishes."

Lavia, 21, has also been struggling with a hamstring problem and suffered a setback during his comeback as a substitute against Arsenal last month, while 19-year-old Spanish forward Guiu's last appearance was against West Ham in February.
