Fernandez has previously been widely criticised
Amidst Enzo Fernandez’s racism allegations a first Chelsea player has come out in support of the Argentinian international.
Leading post-match chants after Argentina’s Copa America victory, Fernandez has been widely criticised for his words used.
As a result, Chelsea have promised internal sanctions.
Several players in the dressing room are seen to be in shock and left unimpressed.
FIFA have also opened an investigation following the behaviour of the Argentine players.
Moreover, Blues player Wesley Fofana publicly condemned the chants in a viral X post:
Taking to the social media application, the defender stated: “Football in 2024: uninhibited racism.”
However, one player that has publicly supported Fernandez since then is striker Nicolas Jackson.
Jackson took to Instagram, posting stories of the player with a young Chelsea fan, alongside a photo of him, Marc Cucurella and Fernandez in training:
Additionally, Fernandez has since posted a public apology for his actions:
