Rosenior responds to Enzo Fernandez’s agent’s claim that punishment for midfielder is ‘unfair’ | OneFootball

Liam Rosenior insists there are no issues between him and Enzo Fernandez despite the decision to drop the midfielder for the win over Port Vale.

Chelsea beat the League One side 7-0 to reach the semi finals of the FA Cup.

But Fernandez watched from the stands having been made unavailable for selection by the club following comments made in a recent interview which cast doubt on his future at the club.

Chelsea boss Rosenior also said on Friday that he would not be available for his side’s next game against Manchester City either.

Fernandez’s agent Javier Pastore told the Athletic that the punishment was “unfair” and insists Fernandez had not disrespected the club.

Asked about those comments, Rosenior replied: “That’s his opinion. I don’t have anything to say on someone else’s opinion.

“Enzo knows what I think of him and it was brilliant to see him here to support the players today. We’ll move forward and make sure we have a really good run-in in the season.

“I said yesterday, the conversations I have with my individual players, with Enzo, with anyone in the squad when it comes to things like this, stay within.

“The dressing room is sacred. I made it really clear yesterday what I think of him as a person. He’s a top, top guy. But at the same time, I want us now to focus on the football and achieve what we want to achieve through the season.

“In the right time, in the right moment, which isn’t now, going through what we’ve gone through, I’m sure the discussion will happen in terms of what’s been said between me and Enzo.

“Enzo and I are in a very good place. I saw him today, had a really good conversation with him today one-to-one, and things aren’t what people maybe think they are.”
