Wesley Fofana had another poor game on Saturday, and his performances as well as his attitude are really frustrating Chelsea fans.
Simon Johnson, who covers the club for the Athletic, thinks we’ve reached a point of no return.
Fofana doesn’t have a future at Chelsea beyond this season
“He’s been poor for a while now, and I think it’s time to say ‘you’re getting the Benoit Badiashile treatment, off you pop to the bench for a bit’,” Johnson said on the Straight Outta Cobham podcast.
“He’s playing himself out of the club. He’s been at the club since the takeover. He was one of the first signings, bought for a lot of money, on a good salary. He’s made more headlines for his driving exploits than his contribution on the pitch.
“Nobody intentionally plays badly, but there’s a strong message you can send that you’re giving it your all. The footage of the Newcastle goal was very damning: jogging back having let Anthony Gordon go.
“You’re looking for some sort of response for being left out against PSG – well that wasn’t it. Yes, there have been injuries which haven’t helped. But it’s hard to see how he has much of a future at Chelsea beyond this season.”
We really couldn’t agree more. The problem is who would buy him. That may be the only thing that saves him at Chelsea.

Joao Pedro has had a good first season at Chelsea, but he’s not scored in the last four, and his streakiness is proving problematic.
Romeo Lavia’s first start in the Premier League since October was one of the few bright spots of the game, and even then it wasn’t fully convincing.
