Fofana has trained alongside his Blues team-mates this week, with Rosenior emphasising that players within the Chelsea squad have ‘incredible support on and off the pitch’, including from our wellbeing department.

The 25-year-old isn’t available for Sunday’s trip to Arsenal due to suspension, but Rosenior has highlighted Fofana’s strength of character and stressed racism must not be tolerated in any walk of life.

‘It was a tough day for Wes,’ Rosenior explained. ‘Firstly, what happened in the game [being sent off]. Secondly, the fallout from that was the racist abuse he got online. Wes is a tough guy, a good guy, and we spoke about racism last week in the press conference and how it affects you.

‘It shouldn’t exist. Whether it’s online, verbal or in person, it’s something we have to try our very best to eradicate in life, let alone football. But Wes is fine and has trained well this week.’
