Wesley Fofana has jumped the gun in all but confirming a Chelsea transfer this summer before it is officially announced. During a period of near-daily exits from the Stamford Bridge, the Frenchman has has been a bit hasty to send his goodbyes.
Having only played one game with each other throughout the season, the pair seem to have built up a good relationship off the field regardless. As two French speakers and goal defenders, their lack of game time together is evidence of the individual and team struggles throughout.
After Fofana signed for the club, Mendy found himself injured for most of the rest of the season and also out of form. Their only appearance came in Thomas Tuchel's final game, back in September 2022. Since then their injury issues between them meant that overlapping setbacks saw very little link-up.
