Wesley Fofana: Leicester boss Brendan Rodgers calls ex-defender's social media post a 'cheap shot'

Leicester City manager Brendan Rodgers has criticised Wesley Fofana's camp for a "cheap shot" following the defender's £70m move to Chelsea.

"I would say the post didn't come from Wesley," said Rodgers.

"I know that for sure because of my experiences, where I had a message from Wesley."

Fofana was left out of Leicester's squad for their Premier League matches against Southampton and Chelsea in August, as reports of interest from Stamford Bridge emerged.

The 21-year-old was also left out of Leicester's squad for their Carabao Cup win over Stockport County, with Rodgers saying his then-player had not turned up to training.
