Enzo Fernández sanctioned by Chelsea for two matches following Madrid comments

5

Enzo Fernández has been sanctioned by Chelsea for two matches following the comments he made about wanting to live in Madrid.

Fernández will miss Chelsea’s two matches against Port Vale and against Manchester City. The Argentine was recently asked about which city he would like to live in, with his response of Madrid fueling transfer talks.

This has made Chelsea coach Liam Rosenior unhappy and the coach confirmed that Enzo has been sanctioned for his comments. Speaking at a press conference, here is what Rosenior had to say:

“I spoke with Enzo an hour ago. As a football club, and with me as part of that process, we’ve made a decision: he won’t be available for tomorrow’s game and he won’t be available for Manchester City next Sunday.

“I think a line was crossed in terms of our culture and what we want to build. So we had to make a sanction and that was a decision we’ve made.”

Valentín Barco has spoken about being with the Argentina national team.

Barco scored his first goal with the Argentina national team in their 5-0 win against Zambia. Speaking to the media after the match, Barco commented on Joaquín Panichelli’s injury and being part of the Argentina national team. Here is what he had to say:

“I live day by day, like I always have. I try to do my best at my club in order to come here. The world champions are here, they are all elite. It is the best national team in the world and it has the most difficult list in the world, logically.

“I am very thankful to the people and my team mates, scoring at home, my first goal with the senior national team is something unique.

“I had everyone sign the jersey for me, that one’s going in the memory book and the collection.”

Following Argentina’s 5-0 win against Zambia, Barco, who scored in the match, spoke about Panichelli’s injury. Here is what he had to say:

“The injury was difficult, it was a very, very, difficult moment for everyone. I was next to him and it was the most difficult moment I have lived. I am very sad for him because I know everything that he has worked for every day to be here. Now, I will be there for his recovery.”
