[FHISKER]

Manager Liam Rosenior confirmed the midfielder has been dropped for the FA Cup tie against Port Vale and the Premier League clash with Manchester City. Fernández had recently admitted he was unsure whether he would stay at Chelsea beyond next season, which Rosenior said “crossed a line” in terms of club culture. Despite the punishment, Chelsea insist the door remains open for the Argentine, who is still respected by the club and his teammates. The situation comes during a difficult period for Chelsea, who have lost four straight matches and are fighting to qualify for next season’s Champions League.

Enzo Fernández will miss Chelsea’s next two matches after comments about his future upset the club.
