Why Enzo Fernandez was punished but Marc Cucurella wasn't

Chelsea punished Enzo Fernandez with a two-game ban for speaking out against the club, while teammate Marc Cucurella avoided sanctions despite making similar comments.

The disparity in punishment stems from their responses. Cucurella was viewed as genuinely apologetic and reaffirmed his commitment to Chelsea, whereas Enzo reportedly remained keen on a move to Real Madrid and undermined the manager's support.

Additionally, sources suggest the club has promised top-quality reinforcements to key players to address their current struggles.
