"Fernandez was dropped from Chelsea's squad for a 7-0 FA Cup quarter-final win over Port Vale last weekend, having made headlines with comments about his future. During the international break, Fernandez suggested he could leave Chelsea after the World Cup and said if he could live in any city in the world, he would choose Madrid."
"Rosenior said those comments had 'crossed a line' and planned to drop him for two matches, but Fernandez's camp reacted angrily to him being sanctioned, with his agent Javier Pastore saying the punishment was 'unfair'."
"'I had a really good conversation - I've had three or four with Enzo,' Rosenior said. 'He's apologised to me and to the club, and we'll deal with that after a massive game on Sunday.'"
"'Football is a team sport. It's not about individuals. There are certain values and cultures that I believe in that make the team stronger, if you get them right.'"
