Leicester City are facing fresh turbulence after one of their key players sparked speculation about his future by deleting every reference to the club from his social media accounts.
The dramatic move came in the aftermath of the Foxes’ 1-1 draw with West Bromwich Albion, a result that left supporters frustrated. The player, whose performance was widely criticized, became the subject of relentless trolling online, with fans targeting him for mistakes that proved costly in the game.
In response, the 25-year-old reportedly posted an emotional message — “Damn I didn’t expect to cry, but here I am” — before wiping all mentions of Leicester City from his Instagram and X (Twitter) profiles.
The incident has fueled speculation that his relationship with the club may be reaching breaking point. While the player has not issued a formal statement, insiders suggest the situation has left him deeply hurt and uncertain about his future at the King Power Stadium.
Fans are now divided: while some argue criticism is part of the game, others believe the abuse went too far and may have pushed the player towards a dramatic decision. Leicester’s management have yet to comment on the matter, but the silence is only intensifying rumors of a possible exit.
This is not the first time social media has triggered controversy in modern football, but the speed and severity of the fallout highlight the fragile relationship between players and supporters in the digital age.
