Enzo Fernandez has been dropped by Chelsea for the upcoming FA Cup clash tie Port Vale and Premier League clash with Manchester City following recent comments regarding his future.
Blues manager Liam Rosenior has confirmed: “I spoke to Enzo an hour ago. As a football club we've made a decision. He won't be available for tomorrow's game and he won't be available for Manchester City.
“We think a line was crossed. It's not ideal. A lot of it stemmed from a really difficult ten days, probably the most difficult ten days of my career.”
He added: “As a person and player, I have the utmost respect for Enzo Fernandez.
“It was a joint decision. And saying that, the door is not closed on Enzo. You have to protect that culture. And in terms of that, a line was crossed in the international break.
