Enzo Fernández Faces Injury Scare in London Classic Against Chelsea but Assures Fans of Recovery Ahead of International Duty

This Monday, during the first half of the London classic between Tottenham and Chelsea, there was a clash between two world champions with the Argentine team. There were 27 minutes when the VAR called the referee to review an action in the area that involved Enzo Fernández and Cuti Romero.

After a short ball, the local defender went after the former River, applying the blocks of his right boot to the left ankle of the midfielder for Pochettino’s team. After observing the situation on the monitor, referee Michael Oliver did not hesitate: he sanctioned the penalty and showed the former Belgrano the red card. Despite having suffered the harsh tackle, Enzo was in charge of trying to calm his national team teammate, who complained airily after seeing the red card.

After that tough tackle, before 15′ of the second half, Enzo tried to bring down a ball in the Spurs’ large area but failed to control it and fell to the ground. He then put his hands on his right ankle, frowned, and motioned to the bench for his coach to replace him. After that, he called Mijailo Mudryk and removed the 22-year-old player from the field.

Faced with this image, the alarms sounded in the Argentine team, since there are only a few days left for the double date that will be played in November for the South American Qualifiers with two classics (against Uruguay on Thursday the 16th and against Brazil on Tuesday the 21st).

Enzo Fernández’s message after leaving due to an annoyance in Chelsea

Beyond speculation about a possible injury, it was Fernández himself who brought peace of mind to his followers with a message he published on his Instagram account. “Thank you all for his messages. “I’m fine, working on my recovery to get to the weekend in the best way,” he wrote in a story in which he is seen with a smiling face. The same text was published in English by the Argentina midfielder.

In advance of his trip to the country to join the concentration of the national team led by Lionel Scalonii, Enzo Fernández’s Chelsea will have a big commitment next weekend. This Sunday, November 12, they will host Julián Álvarez’s Manchester City from 1:30 p.m. (Argentine time), who is the sole leader of the Premier League tournament.

So far this season, the former River midfielder is one of the key pieces of the London team. He has played 13 games – 10 in the English competition and three in the Carabao Cup – in which he played 964 minutes and scored a goal. In all the matches he started, except in the duel against Brentford, in which he was not called up by the Argentine coach.
