Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernandez has been dropped for the team's next two matches following comments he made during the international break. The 25-year-old said on a podcast this week that he would like to live in Madrid, amid speculation linking him with a move to Real Madrid. ADVERTISEMENTFernandez had already said last month, after Chelsea's Champions League defeat to Paris Saint-Germain, that he did not know whether he will be at Chelsea next season. Fernandez joined Chelsea for a then-British record £107 million ($142 million) in 2023 and was appointed vice-captain the following year. "Enzo, firstly, as a character, a person and a player, I have the utmost respect," said Rosenior.
