Enzo Fernandez’s agent, Javier Pastore, has criticized Chelsea’s decision to suspend the midfielder for two matches following recent public comments about his future. Lihat juga asi8sz. The Argentina international does not understand the punishment.
Fernandez will miss Saturday’s FA Cup quarter-final against Port Vale and next Sunday’s Premier League match at Manchester City.
Last week the World Cup winner said he would “examine his options after the World Cup” and expressed his desire to live in Spain.
“The punishment is completely unfair,” Pastore told The Athletic. «There is no real reason or justification for why he was banned. Enzo did not understand the situation.»
The 25-year-old, who is under contract until 2032 and will captain Chelsea in the absence of the injured Reece James, has been linked with Real Madrid, although he denied talks with the Spanish club.
“When the coach told him, he accepted it because he is a very professional man who always gives his full effort wherever he is and respects decisions,” Pastore said.
«But we don’t understand the punishment because he doesn’t name any club or say he wants to leave Chelsea, far from it.»
