"As a football club, with me as part of the decision, he won't be available for tomorrow's game or Manchester City next Sunday. It's disappointing for Enzo to speak that way. I've got no bad words to say about him but a line was crossed in terms of our culture and what we want to build."
"Enzo, firstly, as a character, a person and a player, I have the utmost respect. He's frustrated because he wants us to be successful. In terms of the decision, it's not all about me, or the sporting directors, the ownership, the players, we are aligned in our decision."
"The door is not closed on Enzo. It's a sanction. You have to protect the culture, and in terms of that, a line was crossed."
Enzo Fernández will miss Chelsea's next two matches after the club sanctioned him for comments made during the international break. He expressed a desire to live in Madrid, which raised speculation about a potential move to Real Madrid. Head coach Liam Rosenior confirmed the decision to exclude him from the FA Cup and Premier League matches, emphasizing the importance of maintaining the club's culture. Despite the sanction, Rosenior stated that the door is not closed for Fernández at Chelsea.
