Chelsea 'face ban from China following Kenedy comments'

Chelsea 'face ban from entering China'

Chelsea could be banned from entering China in the future following comments made by Brazilian wideman Kenedy on social media, according to a report.

Kenedy was punished by the Blues at the weekend for his insensitive post, which attracted criticism from the club's Chinese supporters.

One comment posted by the 21-year-old on his Instagram account read "Porra China,", translating roughly from Portuguese as "fuck China".

Chelsea have faced a backlash from their Chinese fanbase, leading to claims by Goal.com that they may be prevented from entering the Asian country.

A source has apparently confirmed that all Chelsea-related stories are to be withdrawn from Chinese media, while the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is considering an outright ban on future visits.

Chelsea have now moved on to Singapore, where they take on Bayern Munich and Inter Milan in the coming days.
