Chelsea defender Wesley Fofana says his team-mate Enzo Fernandez is "not racist" - and has accepted an apology from the Argentina midfielder, who was filmed singing a derogatory song about France's black players.

Fernandez was accused of "uninhibited racism" by Fofana for a video posted to his social media account after Argentina beat Colombia 1-0 in the Copa America final on 14 July.

But Frenchman Fofana - who later deleted his post - says Fernandez has now "said sorry" and "did not understand" when singing it.

Chelsea will take no action against Fernandez following an internal disciplinary procedure which is now closed.
