Alexis Mac Allister claims that Argentina 'isn't a racist country' and that Enzo Fernandez's chant video may have offended 'European sensitivity' - as Chelsea star's father compares song to taunts about Leo Messi's HEIGHT

Enzo Fernandez's Argentina team-mate Alexis Mac Allister and the player's father Raul have weighed in on the video capturing members of the Albiceleste singing a racist and transphobic song.

The Chelsea star recorded the video on Instagram Live amid raucous celebrations in the wake of the team's Copa America victory on Sunday as Fernandez and as-yet unidentified team-mates sang a discriminatory song about the French team which described their players as 'coming from Angola'.

Fernandez has received widespread condemnation for participating in the chant, including from his west London team-mates such as Wesley Fofana - who described it as 'uninhibited racism'.
