Enzo Fernandez and his agent have apologised to Chelsea for comments he made while on international duty in Argentina. 

Fernandez said in interviews that he would welcome living in Madrid, leaving the door open to moving to Real Madrid in the summer.

No talks have been held about selling Fernandez and he has a Chelsea contract until 2032.

As a result of those comments, Chelsea head coach Liam Rosenior announced last Friday that Fernandez would not be in the squad for two matches - the 7-0 win over Port Vale last Saturday and this weekend's game against Manchester City on Sunday, live on Sky Sports.

Real Madrid will sign a midfielder this summer and Fernandez is one of their targets. He is valued at more than £100m but Chelsea are not trying to sell the player.

Fernandez is one of the players seeking improved terms on his Chelsea contract - but his cause will not have been helped by the comments he made in Argentina.
