Chelsea head coach Liam Rosenior insisted that Enzo Fernandez's club-enforced suspension has not caused divisions in the dressing room ahead of the midfielder's return this weekend. Fernandez missed the FA Cup quarter-final win over Port Vale and a 3-0 Premier League loss to Manchester City after comments suggesting interest in Real Madrid. Rosenior described the group's response as business as usual.
Enzo Fernandez and his agent have apologized for the remarks, made during international duty with Argentina following Chelsea's Champions League exit to Paris Saint-Germain. In a pre-match press conference ahead of Saturday's Premier League clash with Manchester United at Stamford Bridge, Rosenior addressed concerns about squad unity when asked if the episode had split the team. 'Not that I’m aware of, no. Enzo’s come back to the group this week,' Rosenior said. 'The group’s been fantastic in terms of his training, Enzo has as well. It’s just business as usual in terms of the selection for the game.'
