A week after the publication of a video showing Enzo Fernández and his Argentinian teammates singing a racist chant against the players of the French team after the Albiceleste’s victory in the Copa América, the controversy has still not passed. Despite an apology message that did not convince, many Chelsea players feared his return to the first team.
Like the French players of the London club, Reece James (23 years old) indicated that this incident could have a bad impact in the Stamford Bridge dressing room. “There is always a factor that makes people not agree that there could be a problem. But the day that everyone is in the same room, I hope that things will be resolved smoothly and we can continue the season. I spoke to him a little bit, he tried to explain his situation and how things happened. It is a very difficult situation. There is no place for racism or discrimination in football.”he assured ESPN. Enzo Fernandez will have to explain himself.
