Enzo is NOT sorry... the video was heinous and Chelsea must ban him until he understands why

During those celebrations, one of the players is filmed joining in with a chant that goes like this.

"Listen, spread the word. They play in France but they are all from Angola. They are going to run well, they like to sleep with trans people, their mum is Nigerian, their dad is Cameroonian but on the passport it says: French."

Rightly, that English player would never be allowed to represent his country again. He would be banned from playing club football here for a long time.

Yet there seems to be some sort of debate about what should happen to Enzo Fernandez after he was front and centre of a video in which Argentine players sang this racist song.

Here's what his employers, Chelsea Football Club, had to say.

"We acknowledge and appreciate our player's public apology and will use this as an opportunity to educate. The club has instigated an internal disciplinary procedure."
