Enzo Fernández may captain Chelsea again despite being dropped for Madrid comments

TL;DR

Chelsea is considering allowing Enzo Fernández to captain the team again after he was suspended for comments made during the international break.
Fernández expressed a desire to live in Madrid and praised Luka Modric and Toni Kroos, also questioning the departure of Enzo Maresca.
He was dropped for the FA Cup win over Port Vale and the Premier League game against Manchester City, with Liam Rosenior stating his remarks "crossed a line".
Within Chelsea, Fernández is viewed as one of several co-captains and part of the leadership group, rather than an official vice-captain.
The club is assessing his response to the sanction and hopes he will be in a position to captain the side again.
Fernández's potential departure this summer is a factor, as Real Madrid are unlikely to meet Chelsea's asking price.
Chelsea considers Fernández's public dissent counterproductive, despite receiving feedback from players in private.
Marc Cucurella also criticized the club but avoided sanction for a single interview, unlike Fernández who spoke out more than once.
