Chelsea have taken a hardline stance against Enzo Fernandez, with the Argentine midfielder officially dropped from the squad following a series of controversial comments regarding his future. Manager Liam Rosenior confirmed the decision ahead of a crucial run of fixtures, suggesting the vice-captain’s public flirtation with Real Madrid has forced the club’s hand.
The Argentine midfielder has been handed a two-match suspension that sees him miss both the FA Cup quarter-final and a high-stakes Premier League encounter with Manchester City. Rosenior revealed that the decision was reached after a private meeting held just an hour before his pre-match press conference. The decision was taken after Fernandez commented on rumors linking him with Real Madrid. The Chelsea star revealed: “I’d like to live in Spain. I really like Madrid; it reminds me of Buenos Aires. Players live where they want. I’d live in Madrid. I get by in English, but I’d be more comfortable in Spanish.”
