Leicester City boss Brendan Rodgers has confirmed wantaway defender Wesley Fofana will remain out of the side for this weekend’s clash with Chelsea.
The Frenchman’s future is a source of constant speculation at present, with Saturday’s opponents launching an aggressive approach to sign the defender. Thus far, the Blues have seen three bids knocked back by the Foxes - the latest of which was worth a total fee of £70million.
However, with Leicester only receiving £60m of that up-front with the rest in potential add-ons, bosses at the King Power were happy to reject it. Fofana is desperate to complete the move before the September 1 deadline and is no longer training with the Leicester first-team.
