During the Carabao Cup quarter-final at Stamford Bridge against Newcastle, the visiting team scored shortly after the 15-minute mark, taking the lead. Around the 31st minute, the Blues’ manager substituted the Argentine World Cup winner, replacing him with striker Armando Broja.
Despite no visible injury to the former Benfica player, Sky Sports commentators disclosed that Fernandez hadn’t been feeling well during the match, leading Pochettino to make the substitution. Confirming this after the game, the Blues’ manager stated, “He felt sick. He didn’t feel well before the game and then when he started to play, it wasn’t going well. He asked to come out because he wasn’t feeling well.”
Fernandez exited the field directly alongside assistant manager Jesus Perez and other staff members, sparking speculation among Chelsea fans about a potential serious injury. Fortunately, their concerns were quickly alleviated.
In Fernandez’s absence, Chelsea clinched a thrilling penalty victory at Stamford Bridge, with Mykhailo Mudryk equalizing late in the game following an error by Kieran Trippier. At the final whistle, the Argentine midfielder was seen in tears, likely expressing his disappointment at missing out on one of the Blues’ most significant results of the season so far.
