Leicester defender Wesley Fofana is a doubt for the Foxes' clash with Southampton amid speculation over move to Chelsea... with Brendan Rodgers demanding that his players are 'focused and committed'

Chelsea target Wesley Fofana is a doubt for Leicester’s clash with Southampton on Saturday after missing part of this week’s training programme.

Sportsmail can reveal that the Frenchman has been absent from some of the Foxes’ preparation, with the precise reasons unclear. Manager Brendan Rodgers said on Thursday he would be prepared to drop Fofana if he did not feel the centre-back was in the right frame of mind to play.

‘Yes, 100 per cent,’ said Rodgers. 'If the players aren’t totally focused and committed to the club and being here, or for whatever reason just aren’t in the right mindset, that won’t help us.
