The Digest:

Enzo Fernandez and his agent Javier Pastore have apologised to Chelsea for comments the midfielder made while on international duty in Argentina, where he said he would welcome living in Madrid. Fernandez was dropped for two matches, including Sunday's clash with Manchester City. Pastore had initially branded the sanction "completely unfair" but has since apologised. Rosenior said "a line was crossed in terms of our culture" but confirmed he and Fernandez are "in a very good place."

Key Points:
  • Fernandez has a Chelsea contract until 2032 and is valued at over £100m.

  • Contract renewal talks stalled as Fernandez seeks improved terms.
