Wesley Fofana speaks to the media for the first time about Enzo Fernandez and makes his feelings incredibly clear
Wesley Fofana has spoken to the media for the first time about Enzo Fernandez and has made his feelings crystal clear.
Fernandez angered Fofana after he uploaded a video of himself and his Argentina teammates singing a derogatory song about the French national team following their Copa American triumph.
Fofana called out his club colleague on social media before reportedly unfollowing him on Instagram.
Two players were put in charge of the consultation process for Fernandez upon linking up with the rest of the Chelsea squad for their pre-season tour in the United States.
Fofana, one of six Frenchman in Chelsea’s touring squad, insists the World Cup winner is not racist and hopes the incident has educated the 23-year-old.
“You see Enzo is back and I’m happy,” he said.
“We talked together. I explained why I didn’t like the video. He explained. He said sorry because he did not want to hurt French fans or anyone. He did not understand when singing it.
“And I trust him. Because I know him. I know Enzo. He is not racist. It is just the video is bad. It’s not only Enzo. It’s the Argentinian team. Enzo is in the video but if he was from another country, I would have posted the same thing. For sure, it was a big story because we play in the same team.”

The 23-year-old defender added: “But now it is done, it’s good. I’m happy with this situation because he understands me, I understand him, he said sorry, I trust him, and that is the most important thing. Enzo is a big player in Argentina. I hope this has educated him a bit, because for sure, it is a different culture.”
Fofana has since deleted his post calling out Fernandez, explaining: “We play for the same club and badge and train together. Now I understand him. He understands me. Everybody is happy.”
Chelsea resume their pre-season tomorrow when they play Club America, having drawn with Wrexham and lost to Celtic.
