Enzo Fernandez was involved in a controversy just after Argentina won the Copa America.

The Chelsea midfielder recorded a video of he and his Argentina teammates chanting some offensive and derogatory song about the French team.

There are a number of black French players in the Chelsea team, who felt offended by Enzo Fernandez’s act.

Enzo Fernandez has since released a statement of apology, while Chelsea have opened up disciplinary proceedings.

New Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca has said he has spoken to all parties involved, and feel the matter has been settled.

When asked for his verdict on Fernandez’s situation, Maresca said at his press conference in the United States on Tuesday evening: “I think it’s quite easy in terms of the player did a statement apologising, the club did the same.

“I don’t think there’s something to add in terms of this situation, it’s already clear and clarified.”

Asked if he envisaged any difficulties with Fernandez’s return to the Chelsea squad for the remainder of their pre-season campaign next week, Maresca said: “I don’t think so, to be honest.

“In the end they are all human beings. I don’t think there is any bad intention from any one of them.

“So I don’t think when Enzo comes back we’ll have any kind of problem.

“As I said, the player already clarified the situation, the club did the same, there is nothing to add and once again, I think they are not bad persons or human beings, it can happen, but I don’t think it’s any problem at all.

“I spoke with Enzo, I spoke with all of them, as I said, the player already did a statement apologising, so it’s quite clear.”
