Chelsea winger Kenedy is facing an uncertain future after being sent home from the Premier League champions’ pre-season tour of Asia.
Kenedy flew home to the UK on Tuesday following talks with Chelsea management, with the decison taken in view of his inappropriate posts on social media in Beijing.
Chelsea were forced to issue a public apology to Chinese fans after the Brazilian made a string of insulting posts which included a profanity relating to China and a message mocking a security guard he photographed.
The posts were made on Friday, and though later deleted, Kenedy was booed by the home support during Chelsea’s 3-0 win over Arsenal at the Bird’s Nest Stadium in Beijing the following day.
Chinese media were also highly critical of the 21-year-old and the subsequent fall-out and reaction has been a deeply embarrassing episode for Chelsea.
The People’s Daily editorial read: “China does not welcome a player like this; nor does China welcome a team like this. “It is regrettable that he has said such nonsense. He has created an incident that has humiliated China, an incident that so many fans simply cannot tolerate.
“Kenedy’s absurd comments are not only impolite, but also uneducated.”
Now Kenedy will play no further part in the club’s tour and has flown home from Singapore, with his Chelsea future now almost certainly under threat. It is believed he was also fined after Chelsea admitted he had been “strongly reprimanded and disciplined”.
Conte said: “Kenedy understood his mistake and he is sorry for this for sure.”
