“War at Chelsea”? – Nicolas Jackson breaks the internet as he replies Wesley Fofana after Enzo Fernandez racist video goes viral
As Argentina celebrated their Copa America victory over Colombia, the team was seen singing the opening line of a contentious song in a video posted live on Instagram by Chelsea’s Enzo Fernandez.

“Chelsea Football Club finds all forms of discriminatory behaviour completely unacceptable,” the statement reads. “We are proud to be a diverse, inclusive club where people from all cultures, communities and identities feel welcome.
“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”.
To show the football community and Chelsea supporters that Enzo Fernandez is not a racist, Nicolas Jackson, a striker for Chelsea, responded to the continuing controversy surrounding his teammate by sharing a photo of Enzo with a black Chelsea supporter.
