Wesley Fofana has sparked a furious backlash from the Chelsea faithful after being caught smirking with Ousmane Dembele just seconds after the final whistle.
Liam Rosenior made the decision to drop Wesley Fofana after his cagey performance against Newcastle United last time out, but it didn’t make a difference.
Mamadou Sarr was given the nod at centre-back and was later dragged off at half-time.
Chelsea‘s night was made worse by Trevoh Chalobah being stretchered off, which now leaves Rosenior with limited options at a key time in the season.
And Wesley Fofana added to the misery without a care in the world at full-time.

Wesley Fofana’s full-time antics caught after Chelsea vs PSG
Chelsea defender Wesley Fofana was caught laughing and smirking with France teammate Ousmane Dembele at full-time, just moments after a record defeat for the Blues.
Wesley Fofana’s conduct at the final whistle will ignite a firestorm of fury among a Chelsea fanbase already pushed to the brink.
To supporters who had spent the evening mockingly cheering PSG and witnessing a record-breaking defensive collapse, seeing a supposed key player appear entirely unbothered was the ultimate act of disrespect.
Liam Rosenior really needs to get a hold of his Chelsea squad before it’s too late.
Do you think Chelsea should sack Liam Rosenior? Or are you willing to give him more time?🤔

Wesley Fofana’s season to date at Chelsea
Wesley Fofana’s 2025/26 season has been a turbulent mixture of consistent starts and disciplinary lapses, culminating in a total loss of fan support. To date, the French defender has made 29 appearances across all competitions, acting as a mainstay in a defensive unit that has struggled for identity under Rosenior.
While his passing accuracy remains respectable, his defensive impact has been marred by a tendency toward rashness, notably evidenced by Fofana’s red card during the 1-1 draw with Burnley in February.
Physically, Fofana has managed to avoid the long-term knee injuries that plagued his earlier Chelsea career, but small absences for concussion and illness have disrupted his rhythm.
It’s now about proving himself in the Blue shirt, and showing he wants to fight in tough times.
