The French defender fuelled speculation over his future after deleting all references to the club from his Instagram account on Wednesday. The 24-year-old joined Chelsea from Leicester City in 2022 for an initial &pound;70m. However, Fofana has endured a difficult spell at Stamford Bridge due to repeated injuries that have severely restricted his playing time.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">&#128680; Wesley Fofana has removed everything related to Chelsea on his Instagram. &#128064; <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/jH8yeCjskP\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>pic.twitter.com\/jH8yeCjskP<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Transfer News Live (@DeadlineDayLive) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/DeadlineDayLive\/status\/1958088217795625434?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>August 20, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Fofana Was on Bench for Morale Only: Maresca<\/h2><p>Wesley Fofana&rsquo;s decision to remove Chelsea content comes just days after manager Enzo Maresca publicly stated that Fofana was part of his plans moving forward.
