Until now, no member of Chelsea had spoken publicly about the Enzo Fernandez affair. As a reminder, the Argentinian midfielder filmed himself live on social networks with his Albiceleste teammates singing a racist and transphobic song against the French in particular. Quickly, various Chelsea players starting with Wesley Fofana and Christopher Nkunku, or other clubs like Mike Maignan, stepped up to the plate. The English club claimed to have opened an investigation, while Fernandez apologized. This time, it was Enzo Maresca who spoke out. According to him, the controversy has passed.

The situation is already clear and clean.the new Blues coach began in a press conference, pleading clumsiness. They are all human beings. I don’t think there are any bad intentions from any of them. And I don’t think that when Enzo comes back we will have any problem. The player has already clarified the situation. The club has done the same, so there is nothing to add.” continues the Italian.
