Wesley Fofana reportedly stormed down the tunnel after Leicester dropped two points at home to Brentford, surrendering a 2-0 lead on the opening game of their Premier League season.
Despite being the centre of much transfer chat over the past week with Chelsea chasing the 21-year-old defender, Brendan Rodgers started him on Sunday afternoon.
Although his action at full-time further fuelled doubts over his Leicester future, his overall performance signalled why Chelsea are so interested in spending a fortune for his services. Coming away from the game with two clearances, five interceptions, two tackles, and not being dribbled past once by a Brentford player.

Chelsea have already had bids rejected by the Midlands club, with the latest close to £70m. It is believed a fee of around £85m could change Leicester's stance that the defender is not for sale.
Thomas Tuchel has continually stressed the desire to see more players sign before the end of this window, with new co-owner Todd Boehly matching that ambition with the signings of Raheem Sterling, Kalidou Koulibaly and Marc Cucurella.
