Chelsea has been dealt a significant blow as midfielder Enzo Fernandez has been ruled out for the rest of the season due to an inguinal hernia. The 23-year-old now faces a race against time to recover in time for the Copa America this summer.
Fernandez has been dealing with the hernia for over a month, with the issue affecting his groin region and requiring surgery. Chelsea had initially hoped to treat the injury without surgery, but after consultation with the Argentina medical team, it was decided that an operation was necessary. The midfielder has now undergone successful surgery and will begin a period of rehabilitation, sidelining him for Chelsea’s remaining matches of the 2023/24 season. Despite facing criticism for his form this season, Fernandez remains a key player for his country and will focus on healing to return in time for the Copa America opener on June 21.
Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino has expressed confidence in Fernandez’s future, stating that the experience gained this season will benefit him greatly. Pochettino believes Fernandez will be much better next season after adapting to the Premier League and Chelsea.
