Is he leaving Chelsea? Enzo Fernandez paraded by former club River Plate amid racism row

The Chelsea player, who captured jubilation on the team bus while filming Argentina's triumph over Colombia in the Copa America final has been the focus of a racist scandal.

Enzo's Instagram live video of the team singing a song disparaging the black football players in France and their ancestry sparked outrage at both his and the Argentina team's actions.

The situation led to some of his club teammates getting furious with Wesley Fofana describing the scenes as 'uninhibited racism’ and unfollowing him on social media.

Enzo found himself in a situation where the racist song was being screamed once more, despite being in the stadium to celebrate the South American nation's recent tournament win. 

The Chelsea player travelled to his home country and was introduced to the fans before River Plate's Primera Divison match against Lanus.

The 23-year-old appeared happy as he thanked several groups in the audience while sporting a club shirt that was given to him. 

According to Daily Mail, a video was shared showing the full stadium screaming the song that catapulted Fernandez into the spotlight last week.

The translation of the song states, “Listen, spread the word; They play in France, but they are all from Angola.

“How nice it is! They are going to run; They are 'cometravas'* like f***ing Mbappé; Their mom is Nigerian; Their dad, Cameroonian. But in the document ...Nationality: French.”

Enzo Fernandez took to social media to express regret for his behaviour and the chant's "extremely offensive" content. 

The midfielder is still awaiting word on whether he will be disciplined for his participation in the shouting of the Argentina national team at the beginning of the week.
