‘Get your head down, do your job, what you’re paid for!’: Robbie Mustoe and Tim Howard SLAM Wesley Fofana for asking not to play for Leicester amid rumors linking him with a $93m move to Chelsea
- Fofana had been rumored to be dropped in the leadup to this weekend’s match
- The French defender could move to a Champions League club this summer
- Mustoe & Howard say the player should do everything to make himself available
In spite of Wesley Fofana‘s desire to move on from the King Power Stadium, there are still games to be played and 11 days until the end of the summer transfer window.
Even still, the defender reportedly ‘wasn’t in the right frame of mind’ to be playing today according to manager Brendan Rodgers, after the manager hinted at Fofana’s absence in the runup to the match this weekend.

Mustoe’s colleague Tim Howard echoed similar sentiments, saying he believes there’s a right way and a wrong way to go about your time at a club you won’t stay at forever.
