Fernandez Agent Brands Chelsea Drop 'Completely Unfair'
Chelsea said the vice-captain crossed a line, with Champions League qualification at stake and contract talks now on hold, his agent said.
- Chelsea manager Liam Rosenior confirmed on Friday that midfielder Enzo Fernández will miss Saturday's FA Cup quarter-final against Port Vale and Sunday's Premier League clash with Manchester City.
- The club sanctioned the 25-year-old for comments made during the international break regarding his future at Stamford Bridge, after he told a podcast he would like to live in the Spanish capital, linking him to Real Madrid.
- Agent Javier Pastore branded the decision "completely unfair," insisting Fernández is "happy at Chelsea" and never expressed a desire to leave London despite the podcast remarks.
- Rosenior stated a "line was crossed" in terms of team culture, while Pastore confirmed contract renewal talks were shelved after the two sides failed to reach an agreement.
- Separately, defender Marc Cucurella faced no disciplinary action after questioning the club's recruitment policy and the January dismissal of former manager Enzo Maresca, saying the 8-2 aggregate defeat to PSG left players feeling "discouraged.
