Three of Enzo Fernandez’ French Chelsea team-mates unfollow him on Instagram after he filmed Argentina stars singing ‘racist’ song

Three of Enzo Fernandez’s Chelsea team-mates have unfollowed him on Instagram after he filmed himself and the Argentinian national team singing a ‘racist’ chant aimed at French footballers.

The midfielder has been at the receiving end for posting the provocative video following Argentina’s Copa America win against Colombia on Sunday, July 14. 

 

 

Philippe Diallo, the president of the French Football Federation (FFF), described the players as singing a ‘racist and discriminatory’ chant about their French counterparts while promising to file a legal complaint to FIFA.

 

 

Fernandez’s Chelsea team-mate Wesley Fofana, who is French and the son of an Ivorian father, took to X (formerly Twitter) to declare the video ‘uninhibited racism’. 

 

Now, it has been revealed that he, Axel Disasi, and Malo Gusto have unfollowed the player on social media.

 

 

Chelsea are conducting their own probe after their player found himself at the centre of this storm, with sources saying they are treating the matter seriously and will handle it accordingly.

 

 

The Premier League club have a large number of French players who are black or mixed race, including Malo Gusto, Lesley Ugochukwu, Christopher Nkunku, Fofana, Axel Disasi, and Benoit Badiashile.
