Reece James has admitted Chelsea \u201ccould have a problem\u201d as Enzo Fernandez prepares to reunite with his teammates amid an ongoing investigation into allegations of racism, while Noni Madueke is of the view that \u201ceverything is going to be fine\u201d.<\/strong><\/p>\n
Fernandez is being probed by FIFA after posting a live video of himself and a number of his Argentina teammates, in the wake of their Copa America success, chanting an offensive song aimed at France\u2019s black and mixed heritage players.<\/p>\n
Chelsea have also opened their own\u00a0disciplinary proceedings\u00a0following the incident which was branded by Fernandez\u2019s club teammate Wesley Fofana as \u201cuninhibited racism\u201d, and led to French Blues players Axel Disasi and Malo Gusto unfollowing the midfielder on Instagram.<\/p>\n
The story has dominated Chelsea\u2019s pre-season preparations \u2013 they surprisingly\u00a0drew 2-2 with League One upstarts Wrexham\u00a0despite fielding a strong team \u2013 and captain James has told\u00a0ESPN<\/em>\u00a0of the potential problems that lay ahead and how he feels they need to be addressed.<\/p>\n
\u201cOf course, there\u2019s always the factor where it doesn\u2019t sit right with people when there could be a problem,\u201d James said. \u201cBut until the day comes where everyone\u2019s together and in a room together, I don\u2019t know, but I hope things can be resolved smoothly and we can move forward with the season.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s a really difficult situation. There\u2019s no room for racism or discrimination in football. I think he quickly put his hand up and acknowledged he\u2019d done wrong and apologised to his teammates, the club and the rest of the people that were offended. I think that was probably the best he could have done in that situation.<\/p>\n
\u201cI spoke to him a bit, but it was hard because we were on different time zones. [It was] just a general chat really. His views on what happened and him trying to explain his situation and how things happened.\u201d<\/p>\n

Madueke, meanwhile, told reporters of a potential reintegration: \u201cThat\u2019s something that\u2019s between us players. Enzo is going to come back and join his team again and everything is going to be fine.\u201d<\/p>\n
The furore has overshadowed the opening weeks of Enzo Maresca\u2019s tenure as\u00a0Chelsea\u00a0boss, with the Italian bringing new ideas and a new philosophy to a team that qualified for this season\u2019s Europa League after a strong end to last season.<\/p>\n
He echoed Madueke\u2019s sentiments about Fernandez positively reuniting with his teammates, saying: \u201cIt is quite easy in terms of the player doing a statement to apologise. The club did the same, so I don\u2019t think there is something to add in terms of the situation. It is already clear and clarified.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t think so [that there will be issues]. They are all human beings. I don\u2019t think there are any bad intentions from any of them.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t think when Enzo is back that we will have any situations. Enzo clarified the situation, the club the same, so there is nothing to add. They are not bad persons or human beings.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt can happen but I don\u2019t think there are any problems at all. I spoke with Enzo and all of them.\u201d<\/p>\n
