Brendan Rodgers confirms hard-line Wesley Fofana stance with pointed Harry Maguire remark

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.
