At the same time, he also touched on the topic of Enzo's return. Maresca said: "I don't think Enzo will have any problems when he comes back, he and the other players are not bad people, I spoke with Enzo and he will join the team on the 29th."
    "This is obviously a very difficult situation and Enzo has admitted what he did was wrong and has been quick to apologise to the club, the team and the people he has offended," Reece James told a pre-match press conference. He's not back yet, so I don't know if there's anything I need to change until he's back.
    The 106-million-euro Argentine midfielder Enzo Fernandez has sparked protests from the French Football Federation and the France international after he sang a racist song after winning the Copa America. The French Football Federation even appealed to FIFA to punish Enzo Fernandez.

    Afterwards, Enzo made a public apology on social media, Chelsea teammate Jacson tried to act as a peacemaker, he posted a photo of Enzo playing with black children on his personal social media, but it was later deleted by the player. A source close to Mr Jacson said: "He has no intention of creating controversy or being disrespectful. It was a kind gesture to support a teammate, it was done in good faith."
    According to a senior sports lawyer interviewed by The Post, Enzo could face a suspension of up to 12 games for his part in singing a racist ballad. It was previously reported that Enzo would not be returning to training at Cobham immediately and would not be part of Chelsea's pre-season tour of the United States. But from Maresca's statement, Enzo will officially return to the team on the 29th, and he should meet with his teammates in the United States.
