Kenedy’s future at Chelsea has once again been thrown into doubt after he was caught yawning during a dressing down from Antonio Conte.

The youngster was spotted with his mouth agape as Conte laid into his players for their performance against Roma, report The Telegraph.

The Blues were beaten 3-0 in the Champions League meeting on Tuesday and the manager reportedly let rip at his players.

Kenedy, who was an unused substitute for the game in Rome, was immediately given a lecture by Conte.

It is a set-back for the Brazilian who had been working his way back into Conte’s favour.

During pre-season he was sent home from the pre-season tour of China and Singapore due to inappropriate social media posts. Meanwhile, last season he aborted a loan with Watford.

Despite those set-backs, the 21-year-old has knuckled down in training and has been rewarded with two appearances for the first team this season – both in the EFL Cup.
