Unlikely to start Wednesday
Fofana is dealing with muscle pain and is unlikely to earn a starting role against PSG on Tuesday, accoridng to Loic Tanzi of L'Equipe.
Analysis: Fofana has been in a few reports now of a possible injuyr, dealing with some muscle fatigue that may be too much to start through. That said, the defender would instead be given a bench role agaist the French giants, taking his health cautiously. His absence would force a change, with Jorrel Hato or Tosin Adarabioyo as possible replacements in the center of the defense.
Should start Wednesday
Fofana (undisclosed) makes the matchday squad for Wednesday's Champions League clash against Paris Saint-Germain, the club posted.
Analysis: Fofana was given the day off during Saturday's FA Cup clash against Wrexham to keep him fresh for Wednesday's Champions League showdown with Paris Saint-Germain. The center-back has been a regular fixture in the Blues' back line since coach Liam Rosenior took charge and is expected to step right back into the starting XI for the high-stakes matchup at the Parc des Princes. Fofana has logged two assists, 17 tackles, 34 interceptions and 93 clearances across his 22 appearances in all competitions and should be extra fired up for this one as a well-known Marseille fan.
