Brian Fernández (born 26 September 1994) is an Argentine footballer who plays for Necaxa as a forward.[1]

Club career

Metz

On 23 August 2017, Fernández joined Ligue 1 side FC Metz on a one-year loan deal. Metz secured an option to sign him permanently.[2]

Doping case

Fernández tested positive for a prohibited substance at two in-competition controls in May 2015, and was subsequently handed a three-month ban from sports by AFA, with the ban ending 3 September 2015.[3] The South American Football Confederation (CONMEBOL) did however seek a two-year ban for him, and he was still suspended in late September 2015.[4] On 28 October it was announced that he had been banned for two years. The substance he had tested positive for was cocaine.[5]

Due to all of those positive drug results, he was moved to the reserve team of Racing Club in 2016.[6]
