Fernández, a Chelsea midfielder, is slated to return to club activities on Monday, July 29, 2024, following allegations of racist behavior. The controversy stems from accusations of "uninhibited racism" made by teammate Wesley Fofana. This situation arose after Fernández posted a video featuring himself and his Argentina teammates singing a song that reportedly questions the heritage of France's black and mixed-race players.
In response to the situation, Maresca revealed that Fernández engaged in a thorough and open discussion with the entire squad to address and clarify the incident.
Maresca emphasized that the conversation was aimed at clearing up any potential misunderstandings and assured that Fernández’s actions were not driven by any malicious intent. He stated, "We all feel very comfortable. Enzo is back, he had a chat with all of us to clarify there were not any bad intentions. The lads all accepted."
Furthermore, Maresca confirmed that the team has moved past the controversy, noting that the atmosphere within the squad has returned to normal. He commented, "Since last night, everything was like before. It's all normal. All good."
