Fofana left the field in the 72nd minute of Sunday's 3-1 loss to Getafe due to discomfort, according to manager Luis Garcia Plaza, per Pepe Jimenez of El Desmarque. "He was experiencing some discomfort-it's true that this was the match where he looked the most uncomfortable-and since we have another game in four days, we couldn't take the risk."
Analysis:Fofana was not able to finish the match on the field Sunday, as the midfielder would need to leave due to some physical issues. However, it does appear this was more of a cautionary move, not wanting to risk the player with a busy schedule ahead. He has only missed one start all season, so this is something to monitor, although it does appear he could still be an option later in the week.
