Kenedy has received a formal warning from the Football Association over social media comments made during Chelsea's pre-season tour of China in July, according to Sky sources.

An FA spokesperson confirmed the 21-year-old has been formally warned and will not be charged. Kenedy has also been warned over his future conduct.

The Premier League champions sent the player back to England and issued a public apology after the Brazilian made negative comments about China on his Instagram account.

Kenedy has since apologised and Chelsea followed suit, confirming the winger had been disciplined for his actions.
