Wesley Fofana has returned to training and there is confidence that the centre-back can return to the first team by the start of next month.
The Frenchman has not played since picking up a hamstring injury during the 3-0 win over Aston Villa back in early December.
Expected Return Date – Sunday 9th March v Leicester
Benoit Badiashile was set to return from a thigh injury this month but Maresca said last week that the defender is still “in the process” of getting back fit.
Fans may have to wait a little longer before seeing the 23-year-old back in action.
