Enzo Fernandez apologises as Chelsea teammate Wesley Fofana calls out 'racist' video

Chelsea are investigating a video Enzo Fernandez posted on social media which the French Football Federation alleges is racist.

Fernandez and some of his Argentina team-mates were chanting a derogatory song about the France team in an Instagram live video published on his account after they beat Colombia in the Copa America final on Sunday.

Wesley Fofana, Fernandez's Chelsea team-mate, reposted the video on X, formerly known as Twitter, with the words: "Football in 2024: uninhibited racism".

Fernandez later apologised on Instagram for posting the video and any offence its content may have caused.

"The song includes highly offensive language and there is absolutely no excuse for these words," he said.

"I stand against discrimination in all forms and apologise for getting caught up in the euphoria of our Copa America celebrations.

"That video, that moment, those words, do not reflect my beliefs or my character.

"I am truly sorry."
