Chelsea head coach Enzo Maresca says he has spoken to Enzo Fernandez and that the situation that has caused trouble over the summer has been resolved.
The Argentina midfielder was seen chanting a song with his international team-mates after their Copa America win that appeared to question the heritage of the French national players.
It caused unrest in the Blues camp, particularly with Wesley Fofana, who took to social media to voice his displeasure.
But as the West London club continue their pre-season tour, the new manager says everybody is happy in the camp.
He said: “We all feel very comfortable and very good. Enzo had a chat with all of us to clarify there was no bad intention.
“The lads all accepted it. And since last night everyone was together, speaking and laughing.

“I don’t know [whether the club investigation has finished]. To be honest, I don’t know.
“The meeting was between Enzo, me, some players. There is nothing more to add. We all make mistakes.
“Enzo apologised already four or five times. Since yesterday’s session, last night, the situation is completely normal…
“The meeting was between Enzo, some of his mates, Wesley was there.
“They spoke with each other. It is normal sometimes the first reaction is not good. They know Enzo better than me and they know he is a good guy.”
With the internal issue apparently resolved, it is full steam ahead for the new season in the capital.
Chelsea are looking to build on their Premier League campaign and their sixth-placed finish from last term.
