Chelsea player removes all references to club on his social media after Enzo Maresca comment

A Chelsea star has removed everything related to the club on his official Instagram account following Enzo Maresca's comment.

Chelsea opened their Premier League campaign with a goalless draw against Crystal Palace, who had a goal controversially denied due to a little-known rule.

Summer signings Jamie Gittens and Joao Pedro played from the start but failed to make a huge impression.

Maresca remains in the market for further reinforcements, with Manchester United's Alejandro Garnacho on his radar.

There could also be outgoings at Stamford Bridge ahead of next month's transfer deadline.

Wesley Fofana's future has all of a sudden been clouded by uncertainty after his drastic social media decision.

He has deleted everything Chelsea-related on his Instagram account, fuelling speculation he could leave the club this summer.

Fofana, whose time at Chelsea has been hampered by repeated injuries, made just 14 appearances across all competitions last season.

But he returned to the squad for his team's clash against Palace.

Speaking before Sunday's game, Maresca suggested the Frenchman was part of his plans moving forward and hoped to give him some minutes.

"Wes was on the bench but was just on the bench to be with us and the plan was for him not to get any minutes," he explained.

"Now hopefully for the next one, we can use Wes for some minutes."

Where could Wesley Fofana end up before the summer transfer deadline?

Fofana cost Chelsea an initial £70 million from Leicester City in the summer of 2022.

But, as mentioned, the 24-year-old's time at the club has been blighted by a series of injuries that has restricted him to just 34 matches since his transfer.

A switch to Marseille has been mooted.

According to French journalist Sebastian Vidal, Marseille has emerged as a potential suitor, having qualified for the Champions League last season.

An initial loan move with an obligation to buy has been reported.

And it's a club that is close to Fofana's heart.

"Olympique Marseille... we’ll see one day," he said last year.

"I still have a contract until 2029, we’ll see. Marseille is my city, my club, I am an OM supporter.

"We’ll see if I end up being at Marseille in a few years, or if I stay at Chelsea for the rest of my career."
