Rodgers ahead of the clash against Manchester United on Friday defended his former player and said someone else was behind Fofana's parting shot at him.
"It clearly is difficult; I'll always defend players and I'll defend Wesley,"
he said on BT Sport.
"There's a lot of noise out there about him and what was said.
"I never get too emotional with words; I try to look at the logic of it. I know where the statement came from and it is not Wesley Fofana.

"We hoped he would stay on for another year before he moved on, but he has taken the possibility to go. It is a shame for us, and a shame how it ended a little bit.
"For me, he's a good guy and I know probably other influences have taken him away from the club."
