  • Chelsea face a major dressing room revolt after Enzo Fernandez was accused of 'uninhibited racism' by team-mate Wesley Fofana over a video he posted of the Argentina squad celebrating their Copa America triumph.footage which appeared to show the Argentina players singing about how French players are 'from Angola' or have a 'Nigerian' mother and a 'Cameroonian' father.
    Fofana, who is French and the son of an Ivorian father, posted the video on X, formerly Twitter, with the caption: 'Football in 2024: uninhibited racism'.
    Chelsea have a large number of French players among their squad including Fofana, Malo Gusto, Lesley Ugochukwu, Christopher Nkunku, Axel Disasi and Benoit Badiashile.
    Sources close to the players have told Mail Sport that Chelsea's French contingent are furious with Fernandez.Fofana, Disasi and Gusto have all unfollowed Fernandez on Instagram.
    Fernandez belatedly posted an apology on Tuesday night, which read: 'I want to apologise for a video posted on my Instagram channel during the national team celebrations.
    'The song includes highly offensive language and there is absolutely no excuse for these words. 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.'
    The song dates back to the 2022 World Cup final in which Argentina defeated France on penalties and the players were filmed singing it after their victory over Colombia in the Copa America final on Sunday night.

    If you say to an Argentinian that his grandparents come from Italy, they feel proud, but if you say the same to a French that his parents come from Africa is racism.
