Enzo Fernandez was suspended by Chelsea for two games last month because of his comments on international duty.
The midfielder gave two separate interviews during the break where he spoke very pointedly about wanting to live in Madrid â no coincidence, given the transfer rumours linking him with moves to La Liga.
So where did the Argentina star go this week in the mini-holiday between last Sundayâs FA Cup game and a return to training yesterday? You guessed itâŠ
McFarlane on Enzo holidays
Calum McFarlane took his pre-match press conference today, where he defended Enzo:
âWe gave the lads three days off and I actually thought it was [promising that they went]⊠I think it says a lot about the group that they go away together. I love the fact that they spend time together and theyâve gone to Madrid to watch tennis, so I donât see an issue with it, honestly.
âHe was there last year with his teammates again. The last time they had a break, they spent time together as well, so I think itâs a positive sign for the unity within the group.â
Enzo talking pointedly about living in Madrid we have a problem with. Him going there for fun? Thatâs fine.
