Trevoh Chalobah has taken to Instagram to share reflections on a bible verse that speaks about suffering, amid speculation about his Chelsea future.
Fans have re-shared the screenshots of his social posts offering their sympathy to the 25-year-old defender, who has reportedly being feeling increasingly isolated at the club, amid speculation Chelsea bosses want to move him on.
One fan questioned the morality of the Blues' management's approach, saying: 'This is why I am struggling to 'support' the club.
'At what point is immoral to do so when I defined as Chelsea is being sold or are leaving?'
Another simply added: 'This hurts. He doesn't deserve this.'

Chalobah's posts come just days after it was revealed he has been banned from club's first-team training facilities, as they try to facilitate a move for their academy graduate.
He was also excluded from their pre-season tour of the US this summer, and has been made to train with the Under 21s.
Chalobah had been training at Cobham under new head coach Enzo Maresca, but was left at home, with the likes of Wesley Fofana, Axel Disasi, Tosin Adarabioyo, Benoit Badiashile and Levi Colwill preferred by the Italian.
Mail Sport reported last month how Chalobah, who joined Chelsea at the age of eight and has made 80 appearances for the club, feels he is being forced out of Stamford Bridge.
And, according to The Telegraph, along with training with Chelsea's development squad, Chalobah has also been kept away from the first-team facilities at Cobham.
The report goes on to say that Chalobah will remain at the academy building at the club's Cobham training ground until he agrees to a move away.
The 25-year-old has not been seen around the first team since they returned from the US earlier this week.
The defender has been joined in the Under 21s by fellow Blues academy graduate Armando Broja and Romelu Lukaku, with Chelsea also looking to move on those two strikers this summer.
It is believed that Chelsea think this is the best way to deal with unwanted players who have no future at the club, allowing them to focus on a transfer away, rather than giving them false hope.
Conor Gallagher was dealt a similar fate before he agreed to join Atletico Madrid for £33.7million.
The report claims Aston Villa and Crystal Palace are interested in a move for Chalobah, who rejected a transfer to Nottingham Forest last summer.

He spent much of last season injured, but fought his way back into Mauricio Pochettino's plans towards the end of the campaign and made 17 appearances in total.
Meanwhile, it is believed that Chalobah, who still has four years left to run on the contract he signed in November 2022, has acted professionally throughout the saga, with the club having slapped a £25m price tag on his head.
