Chelsea's Fernandez Faces Sanctions Over Racist Video

News summary

Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernandez is facing significant backlash and potential sanctions after posting a video featuring racist and transphobic chants following Argentina's Copa America victory. The video has sparked investigations from Chelsea, FIFA, and Conmebol, and has led to internal disciplinary procedures at Chelsea. Several of his black teammates, including Wesley Fofana, Malo Gusto, and Axel Disasi, have unfollowed him on social media, while Fofana labeled the video 'uninhibited racism.' Fernandez has issued a public apology, but the incident has caused a rift within the Chelsea squad, complicating their pre-season preparations. Support for Fernandez varies, with some Argentine political figures backing him, while French players and officials have condemned the actions.
