Leicester City manager Brendan Rodgers has slammed Leicester City defender Wesley Fofana who’s trying to force a move to Chelsea.

Chelsea have seen three bids rejected for the 21-year-old, and it’s yet to be seen if Chelsea would make another offer for the young defender.

Leicester City want a massive £80m fee for Fofana – a figure which Chelsea are reluctant to meet.

Brendan Rodgers has ruled out Fofana for their weekend clash against Chelsea, as he slammed the behaviour of the young defender.

Asked if Fofana will feature against Chelsea at his pre-match press conference on Thursday, Rodgers replied: “He won’t be available for the weekend. He has trained with our Under-23 squad.”

Probed on how similar the situation is to Harry Maguire’s move to Manchester United in 2019, Rodgers insisted that Maguire acted more professionally.

He explained: “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.”

On whether he expects Chelsea to return with a fourth bid for Fofana after three rejected bids, Rodgers continued: “I’m not sure. It’s not my concentration. I can’t lose energy thinking so much about it.

“It’ll be between the clubs. We have to continue to work with what we have.”
