Fofana first Chelsea player to acknowledge Tuchel sacking

Chelsea defender Wesley Fofana has said farewell to manager Thomas Tuchel on social media.

New owner Todd Boehly has wasted no time in dismissing the German coach just seven games into the season, and 100 days into his reign since replacing Roman Abramovich.

Fofana made his debut for Chelsea on Saturday against West Ham and also featured in last night's defeat at Champions League opponents Dinamo Zagreb.

The Frenchman posted a photo on his Instagram story of himself and Tuchel embracing, suggesting his sadness at the German's dismissal.

He is so far the only player to comment or post on social media about Tuchel's sacking.
