Leicester manager Brendan Rodgers takes a swipe at Wesley Fofana's attempts to force a move away

Leicester City manager Brendan Rodgers has hit out at Wesley Fofana's commitment amid Premier League rivals Chelsea's reported interest in the defender.

The Frenchman was left out of the Foxes' squad for their 2-1 defeat to Southampton last weekend after he failed to turn up for first team training.

Rodgers confirmed that Leicester rejected a third bird for the 21-year-old from the Blues last week, with the Foxes are holding out for their £80million valuation of Fofana.
