Chelsea FC news: Premier League champions issue apology over Kenedy's Instagram posts

Chelsea have issued an apology after admitting Instagram posts by Kenedy had caused "great offence and hurt the feelings of the people of China."

The defender posted the messages ahead of the Blues' 3-0 win over Arsenal at the Bird's Nest in Beijing on Saturday and the 21-year-old was jeered during the pre-season friendly.

He has since apologised for his comments and deleted the posts and said it was "not intentional" to cause any offence.

And on Sunday afternoon, the Premier League champions published a statement on their official website also apologising.
