Chelsea football club has taken a stance against midfielder Enzo Fernandez following his participation in a controversial incident involving racist chanting. The club has started an internal disciplinary procedure in response to Fernandez's actions, which stirred outrage among fans and the football community. The incident, captured in a video posted on social media, led to strong condemnation and calls for action.

The controversy escalated when Fernandez's Chelsea teammate, Wesley Fofana, publicly condemned the Argentina squad's chant about the France team. This public backlash further intensified the scrutiny on Fernandez's behavior, prompting Chelsea to address the situation promptly. The club issued a strong statement denouncing the racist nature of the video and emphasizing a zero-tolerance policy towards such behavior.

In light of the incident, FIFA has also launched an investigation, aligning with Chelsea's actions against Fernandez. The France Football Federation has announced its intention to pursue legal action, highlighting the serious repercussions of racist behavior in football. Fernandez, in response, issued an apology for his involvement in the offensive chanting, expressing regret and acknowledging the harm caused.

Despite the controversy surrounding Fernandez, Chelsea fans have shown a divided response, with some calling for his immediate dismissal from the club. The incident has sparked conversations around racism in football and the responsibility of players in upholding inclusive and respectful behavior. As the investigation unfolds, the football world awaits the outcome and the measures taken to address such incidents in the future.
