Enzo Fernandez has presented Chelsea head coach Liam Rosenior with the first major internal disciplinary issue of his tenure at Stamford Bridge. Rosenior and Chelsea's hierarchy responded by issuing Fernandez with a two‑match internal suspension for "crossing a line". After discussions with both players, Fernandez was handed an internal two‑match suspension, while Cucurella faced no sanction. By contrast, Fernandez is understood to remain keen on a move to Real, despite avoiding explicit references to the club - who want to recruit a midfielder this summer. Fernandez's agent, former PSG and Argentina midfielder Javier Pastore, described the punishment as "completely unfair" when speaking to the Athletic.
