(Reuters) -Chelsea defender Wesley Fofana has undergone successful hamstring surgery, the Premier League club said on Saturday. Fofana had recently returned from an extended period on the sidelines due to a muscle injury but only played two league matches before being left out of Thursday's win over Tottenham Hotspur.

Both players missed Chelsea’s 1-0 victory over Tottenham and have already been ruled out of Sunday’s Premier League fixture at Brentford.

Just when Chelsea’s injury situation appeared to be under control, we have two new concerns with Roméo Lavia and Wesley Fofana both picking up problems in training this week and missing out against Spurs on Thursday.

Brentford host Chelsea on Sunday in a West London derby that's been an even match-up since the Bees found their way into the Premier League.
