Midfielder Enzo Fernández will not be sanctioned by Chelsea, following the Argentine’s involvement in a racist video. After winning the Copa América, the player recorded the Argentine national team’s celebration, which sang a racist song against French players. Enzo returned to the English club this week and apologized to the squad. Understanding that the apology was accepted by the team, Chelsea will not impose sanctions on the Argentine.

Despite Enzo Fernandez’s apology being accepted, many Chelsea players have publicly condemned the player’s actions, with defender Wesley Fofana describing the incident as “rampant racism”. Despite the club’s internal disciplinary process being over, FIFA’s investigation into the incident is ongoing.
In addition, the Argentine player has offered to make donations to educational institutions against racism and discrimination. Enzo Fernández and Chelsea are still analyzing the best destinations for this donation.
Enzo Fernández joined Chelsea in 2023 with a huge investment of 106.8 million euros. Last season for the London team, the player scored seven goals and provided three assists in 40 matches.
