Reece James admits the racism storm surrounding Chelsea team-mate Enzo Fernandez could be a “problem” within the dressing room.
Fernandez and his Argentina team-mates caused controversy during their Copa America celebrations, when they were filmed singing a derogatory song aimed at a number of France players. While Chelsea's club-record signing has apologised, he was called out by Blues team-mate and France international Wesley Fofana who said the video showed 'uninhibited racism'.
'I think it's quite easy in terms of the player gave a statement, apologised and the club did the same so I don't think there is something to add in terms of this situation. It's already clear and clarified,' said Maresca. 'In the end, they are all human beings. I don't think there are any bad intentions from any one of them. I don't think that when Enzo is back we will have any kind of problem. The player already clarified the situation.
