Wesley Fofana has taken to social media amid claims he faked a phone call to avoid fans following Chelsea's thrashing of Wolves.

Chelsea smashed Wolves 6-2 last weekend to record the first win of their new Premier League season.

Noni Madueke bagged a stunning hat-trick as Nicolas Jackson, Cole Palmer and Joao Felix also got on the score-sheet at Molineux.

After the game, fans waited outside the stadium for the players, with Malo Gusto signing autographs.

Unlike Fofana, who walked past the group of supporters as he appeared to be on the phone.

However, some fans weren't convinced he was actually having a phone call.

But the Chelsea star insists he was on the phone with someone and claims to have taken pictures with fans after putting his belongings on the team bus.

On X, he wrote: "Hahaha people are crazy I got a call and then I went to put my bag in the bus after that I go take pictures with the fans."

Fofana played the full game against Wolves as Enzo Maresca said he saw signs that his style of play is starting to take shape at Chelsea.

"In some moments we started to see our team," he explained.

"There are many things the players are still learning. Sometimes we can play quicker, sometimes slower.

"It’s with time we are going to improve."

Maresca added: "We started one-and-a-half months ago. When there is space in behind, we need to attack in behind. When teams sit back, there is no space in behind and it’s difficult. We need more passes, more process.

"I want to see my team play the way we want to play and compete every game. This is the most important thing.

"I want to see on the ball a clear idea of what they want; and off the ball, a very aggressive team."
