Enzo Fernandez could face a ban of up to 12 matches for taking part in a racist and transphobic chant while on duty for Argentina, according to a top sports lawyer.

The Chelsea midfielder came under fire for sharing an Instagram Live which showed him and other Albiceleste team-mates singing that France's players are 'all from Angola' and mocking their multi-ethnic heritage in the wake of the team's Copa America victory.

Fernandez's Blues' team-mate Wesley Fofana was the first to accuse him of 'uninhibited racism' in a social media post - which attracted a slew of racist tolls to attack the France international in response.
