Brendan Rodgers is prepared to drop Chelsea target Wesley Fofana on Saturday if he decides the defender is not in the right frame of mind to play for Leicester against Southampton.
The Foxes boss dropped a strong hint that the Blues’ two bids, both of which had been rejected, had left Fofana unsettled.
The 21-year-old wants to join Chelsea but Leicester insist he is not for sale, though an offer in the region of £80million – the world-record fee Manchester United paid for Harry Maguire three years ago – may give them a decision to make.
