Is Fernandez still vice-captain?

[BBC]

Some of you have been using our Ask Me Anything about Chelsea form to query whether Enzo Fernandez has been stripped of his vice-captaincy, after he was dropped from the squad by manager Liam Rosenior.

The Blues boss said the Argentina midfielder "crossed a line" when he told the media that he does not know if he will be at Stamford Bridge next season and subsequently faced an internal suspension.

Everything I have heard covering the Fernandez ban story was that Chelsea felt they were being strong in their punishment of a two-game ban, despite how important Fernandez is.

There is also a willingness to reintegrate a popular member of the squad, who is an aggressive leader that complements Reece James.

They did not want him to go unpunished as there is a consideration for controlling the long-term culture and that is regardless of how important he is or how much he cost.

My view is that stripping him of the armband would have made it harder to move on and bring him back.
