The midfielder Enzo Fernández has been suspended by his current team, Chelsea FC of England, for his comments about Real Madrid: 'He crossed the line.' It all began a few days ago, while Fernández was in Argentina for the March FIFA double-header. During a streaming show, the multi-champion with the national team confessed that he would like to live in Madrid, which was a clear nod to Real Madrid, a club that has shown interest in him on several occasions. This did not sit well at Chelsea, and they quickly decided to suspend him. 'Enzo Fernández will not play tomorrow against Manchester City. I have nothing bad to say about him, but he crossed the line and we had to sanction Enzo,' revealed Chelsea's head coach, Liam Rosenior. In this way, Enzo Fernández will miss two key matches that could define Chelsea's season. The first is against Port Vale in the FA Cup quarter-finals, while against Manchester City in the Premier League, they are practically obliged to win to get closer to the qualifying spots for the next Champions League. Despite winning the Club World Cup in mid-2025, Chelsea had a very poor 2025/26 season, in which they could not compete in the Premier League or the Champions League, and at best, they will have to settle for the FA Cup. According to information gathered by the Argentine News Agency, Enzo Fernández arrived at Chelsea at the beginning of 2023, following his incredible performance at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. During his time with the London-based club, the San Martín native played a total of 161 matches, scoring 28 goals and providing 29 assists.
