Union Berlin suspends on-loan Chelsea player David Datro Fofana for a week for refusing a handshake

Union Berlin has suspended forward David Datro Fofana for a week after he refused to shake his coach’s hand during the Champions League loss to Napoli

OCTOBER 26, 2023 • Associated Press

Suspended by team Fofana is set to serve a suspension after failing to shake Urs Fischer's hand following his substitution against Napoli.

Impact Fofana is set to train individually until he is eligible to return to team training Wednesday. He's started six of the 10 matches played, failing to score a goal on 23 shots (nine on target). Both Sheraldo Becker and Kevin Behrens are the favorites to start up top over him.

Two shots in defeat David Fofana came off the bench and attempted two shots (none on target) in Saturday's 3-0 loss to Stuttgart.

Impact David Fofana attempted more shots than any of his teammates, despite only playing the second half. The striker started the first four games of the season, but has recently had to settle for a place on the bench and is still looking for his first goal involvement of the season.

On bench against Dortmund Fofana is fit and in the match day squad to face Borussia Dortmund on Saturday.

Impact Fofana returns from an undisclosed injury which kept him out of mid week Champions League action. The forward has started in five of his first six Bundesliga appearances, but is yet to have a goal or an assist.

Out for UCL clash Fofana (undisclosed) is out for Tuesday's UCL match against Braga.

Impact Fofana was left out of the squad for the first time this season after not making the starting XI or the bench for Tuesday's match against Braga. It is yet to be known if he has come down with an injury or if it is just due to fatigue, but the club will hope his absence is not for long. He has started all but two matches thus far, and if this is a long-term injury, it could affect the starting XI heavily, with either Sheraldo Becker or Kevin Volland filling in his spot.

Takes five shots versus Heidenheim Fofana had five shots (two on target), created one chance and sent in three crosses (one accurate) during Saturday's 1-0 loss against Heidenheim.

Impact Fofana was one of Union's biggest threats, matching his season high in shots attempted, but accuracy wasn't there for him once again as the forward remains scoreless after seven appearances in all competitions this season. He'll hope to finally open his account during Tuesday's UCL clash against Braga.

Shutout once more David Fofana registered one shot (zero on goal) in Sunday's 3-0 loss versus RB Leipzig.

Impact Fofana shot once but failed to put a shot on goal or create a chance. The striker has got three starts to open the Bundesliga alongside Kevin Behrens, but it's the veteran Behrens wo has offered the offensive value. Fofana will hope to make the most of his loan, though he has only played 152 minutes across the three matches, as he sees frequent rotation.

Lack of appearances this season Fofana made just one start in three appearances in the Premier League, totaling just three tackles (one won) and three chances created.

Impact Fofana joined the club from Molde FK in December, but failed to make appearances with the first team while playing just 68 minutes in the league. The forward could be loaned out in the summer, with talks of a potential loan to Sporting CP for the 2023/24 in order for the 20-year-old to get regular playing time.

Trains with club Fofana played off the bench for 15 minutes in Friday's scoreless draw against Fulham, his league debut.

Impact Fofana signed with Chelsea in late December from Molde FK, but he's still young and likely won't see a ton of time this season, especially with Joao Felix back from suspension. It's unclear what his role will be going forward, given the amount of options in the side, but at the least, he could be a spark off the bench when Chelsea need goals.

Finalizes move to Premier League Fofana will join Chelsea from Molde FK after the two sides finalized a transfer agreement Wednesday.

Impact Fofana has been red hot to start the season with Molde, racking up 17 goals and six assists in 29 matches for the club across all competitions. With his new club, Fofana's offensive upside should challenge the established starting XI and could steal some minutes away from the team's other attacking options.
