He was condemned by Blues colleague Wesley Fofana for the the "uninhibited racism" - with the video angering a number of the Chelsea squad.

But Fernandez made public and private apologies as he linked up with the Chelsea side for their pre-season tour of America.

Chelsea's pre-season tour

Here is a look at Chelsea's full tour of the USA:

RESULTS

• Chelsea 2 Wrexham 2 - July 24
• Chelsea 1 Celtic 4 - July 27

FIXTURES

• Chelsea vs Club America - July 31 - Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Georgia
• Chelsea vs Manchester City - August 3 - Ohio Stadium in Columbus, Ohio
• Chelsea vs Real Madrid - August 6 - Bank of America Stadium, Charlotte, North Carolina
• Gotham FC vs Chelsea Women - August 19 - Red Bull Arena, Harrison, New Jersey

“Everything that has happened stays between us. I am really excited to get to work and that we have a really good season.

“We all know Enzo is a good person and works well for the team.”

Yet Fifa chiefs are still investigating the video of the racist chant — which could eventually lead to an FA ban — as well as considering a legal complaint from the French Football Association.

Chelsea's pre-season started with a 2-2 draw with Wrexham and 4-1 loss to Celtic.

They play Club America at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta next and do so having welcomed new £20.7m keeper Filip Jorgensen.
