Fofana was furious at being taken off with his side trailing 1-0 in the 70th minute of the Champions League clash.

After leaving the field, the 20-year-old refused to shake his boss Fischer’s hand.

According to Sky Germany reporter Lisa de Ruiter, Fofana has been given a one-week ban by his club.

This will see him miss out on this Saturday’s Bundesliga trip to Werder Bremen.

After snubbing his boss’ handshake against Napoli, Fofana sunk his head into his shirt while sitting on the bench.

Footage appeared to show him in tears and he was subsequently consoled by colleagues.

After the game, Fofana took to Instagram to apologise for his response.

He wrote: “Following my behaviour during my exit from the field, I wanted to apologise to the club, the coach, my team-mates and the supporters.

“This gesture was not intended and in no way does it represent my attitude, all this was generated as a result of frustration because I wanted to continue helping the team to obtain a positive result.

“We will continue to work and come back even stronger in the championship and in this great competition.”

Asked about the incident, Fischer said: “There will be a talk. But I find it strange that this is the first question I get after such a great game from us.”

Fofana joined Chelsea from Molde in January.

The Ivorian made four appearances for the Blues before being sent out on loan this season.

He is yet to get off the mark in eight appearances for his loan team.
