Rodgers confirms Fofana won't play vs Chelsea, takes a dig at player's behaviour

Wesley Fofana will not feature for Leicester against Chelsea this weekend, Brendan Rodgers has confirmed.

"He won’t be available for the weekend. He has trained with our Under-23 squad," Rodgers said, as quoted by Metro.

When asked if this situation is similar to the time when Leicester sold Harry Maguire to Man United, Rodgers disagreed as he took a dig at Fofana for trying to force his exit.

"No, it was totally different. I was aware over the course of the summer that there was a possibility that could happen.

"Harry in terms of his behaviour and his focus for the club, he was fantastic right until the last minute he was with the team and with the squad and then he moved on. So no, it is different.

"Over the seasons here we’ve lost obviously Ben Chilwell as well, but this [Fofana situation] unfortunately is just a little bit different. But our focus is with the team and the players that are available."

Leicester have already rejected three bids from Chelsea, but the Blues are not going to back down and are expected to return with a new bid.

With just a week left before the end of the transfer window, the time is running out for the sides to reach a compromise - but at least, the personal terms will not be an issue.
