Chelsea has issued a statement on the club's official website apologizing for Brazilian defender Kenedy's offensive social media post that enraged Chinese people. 

Kenedy insulted China on his Instagram account one day before Chelsea's London derby against Arsenal in Beijing. 

He was booed when he was introduced onto the field during the game. 

Both player and club have apologized twice for the post.
