Nicolas Jackson DEFENDS team-mate Enzo Fernandez amid Argentina's racism storm by posting bizarre video of his under-fire team-mate playing with a black child as Chelsea's dressing room split deepens

Chelsea striker Nicolas Jackson has thrown his backing behind embattled team-mate Enzo Fernandez, after the midfielder filmed himself singing a 'racist' chant during Argentina's Copa America celebrations.

The Argentina star and a number of his team-mates appeared to sing a controversial song seemingly about how French players are 'from Angola' or have a 'Nigerian' mother and a 'Cameroonian' father.

The Chelsea player was then accused of 'uninhibited racism' by his French international team-mate Wesley Fofana, with a number of other Blues players then unfollowing Fernandez on social media.
