Chelsea Star Kenedy Sent Home From Pre-Season Tour After Offensive Social Media Comments About China (Photos)

Chelsea youngster Kenedy has been sent home in disgrace after his offensive posts on social media.

The Premier League champions apologised for the Brazilian posting images that allegedly translated to “f***ing China” as a caption – but have now sent him home.

His Instagram rant made a massive impact in China and Kenedy was jeered during the friendly against Arsenal at the Bird’s Nest Stadium in Beijing.

Antonio Conte’s squad moved on to Singapore after the clash but the row rumbled on leading to Kenedy getting ordered to fly back to the UK.

Chelsea say he was “strongly reprimanded and disciplined” for the Instagram posts, which have since been deleted.

Kenedy reportedly posted a series of images with the captions “f***ing China” and “wake up China you idiot”, in reference to a sleeping security guard.

He did apologise, saying:

“Hello my friends, just wanna say sorry if someone was sad because I used the expression “porra”, was no racism, just an expression…big hug.”

 

Other reports claim that the club could receive an outright ban from the country due to the star’s actions.

Sources have also claimed that the government has ordered Chinese media to “withdraw all related stories about Chelsea from their dual homepages and news apps”.
