Following Lionel Messi’s situation in Miami, Chelsea is experiencing a similar situation with Wesley Fofana. The defender has removed all Chelsea-related posts from his Instagram, prompting speculation among fans about a potential departure.
Manager Enzo Maresca has attempted to downplay the situation. Before the upcoming London derby against West Ham, Maresca stated that he speaks with Fofana daily and that the player is happy. He also stated that he does not use social media.
Fofana previously employed the same tactic when he transferred to Chelsea from Leicester City, which has generated discussion among the Chelsea faithful.
Fofana was not in the starting lineup for the goalless draw against Crystal Palace, with young Josh Acheampong selected instead. Maresca clarified that Fofana’s absence was due to his recovery from a hamstring injury.
Maresca suggested Fofana could return to action soon. Beyond the Fofana issue, Maresca discussed Chelsea’s need for new players, with injuries to the squad. It remains uncertain whether Fofana will play in the upcoming match, and the implications of his social media activity are yet to be revealed.
