		</div><p>Chelsea have sent defender Kenedy home following the outrage caused in China by his social media posts, the Press Association has reported.</p>
<p>The Brazilian will play no further part in the pre-season tour of Asia as the Premier League champions bid to ease the tension the incident has caused.</p>
<p>The Blues had previously issued an apology after admitting Instagram posts by Kenedy had caused &#8220;great offence and hurt the feelings of the people of China.&#8221;</p>
<p>The 21-year-old Brazilian posted the messages ahead of the friendly against Arsenal at the Bird&#8217;s Nest in Beijing on Saturday and was jeered during Chelsea&#8217;s 3-0 win.</p>
<p>He put two videos on Instagram, one with a caption which translated as &#8220;F*** you China&#8221; and another of a security guard asleep which was tagged: &#8220;Wake up China. You idiot.&#8221;</p>
<p>Chinese fans accused Kenedy of xenophobia and racism, leading to an apology from the player who quickly deleted the posts.</p>
<p><i>&#8220;Hello my friends, just wanna say sorry if someone was sad because I used the expression &#8220;porra&#8221;, was no racism, just an expression&#8230;big hug,&#8221;</i> he wrote after the game against Arsenal.</p>
<p>The incident could also leave Kenedy&#8217;s future at Stamford Bridge in jeopardy.</p>
<p>The full-back was sent on a season-long loan to Watford last term but made just one substitute appearance before the spell was cut short.</p>
<p>He then went on to make two appearances for Chelsea, one as a substitute and one start against the Hornets after they had wrapped up the title.</p>
<p>Chelsea have now moved on to Singapore, where they face Bayern Munich in a friendly on Tuesday and Inter Milan on Saturday.</p>
