Argentinian football player Enzo Fernandez will not be punished by Chelsea Football Club after filming himself singing an offensive song about French footballers, following an apology to his teammates, reports say.

Fernandez, 23, also offered to make a significant donation to an anti-discrimination charity, and the internal disciplinary process has now ended, newspapers including the Guardian reported on Tuesday without saying where they got the information.
