Chelsea assistant captain Enzo Fernandez has been dropped for games against Port Vale and Manchester City.

Fernandez has made comments in recent weeks which appeared to cast doubt on his future at the club.

Liam Rosenior: "As a football club, with me as part of that process, we’ve made a decision. He won’t be available for tomorrow’s game and he won’t be available for Manchester City next Sunday. I think for Enzo, it’s disappointing to speak in that way.

"What I will say about Enzo is in terms of him as a character, as a person, I’ve got no bad words to say about him, but I think a line was crossed in terms of our culture and what we want to build. So we had to make a sanction."
