Enzo Fernandez
25-Year-Old
Chelsea
Premier
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Fernandez ended year three on a high, coming off his best statistical season and helping Chelsea secure a European trophy. He posted a career-best six goals and seven assists, showing clear growth in the attack. He also took a larger role of set pieces, something that seems to change by the game with Chelsea. When pushed forward in the formation, his numbers received a notable boost, but as long as he's a defensive midfielder next to Moises Caicedo, his numbers may never truly pop more than the 13 goal contributions he had last season.
Calf issue cleared for Tuesday
Fernandez (calf) is available for Tuesday's clash against Brighton, according to coach Liam Rosenior. "Enzo is absolutely fine, he's available."
ANALYSIS
Fernandez's clearance is a timely boost for Chelsea given the quick turnaround from Saturday's match. The Argentine midfielder recently returned from a two-game club suspension and figures to be one of the more important pieces in manger Liam Rosenior's midfield setup going forward. His return should cut into the minutes of both Romeo Lavia and Andrey Santos, who had been in line for extended appearances in his absence.

Suffers potential calf injury
Fernandez left Saturday's 1-0 loss to Manchester United with discomfort, and coach Liam Rosenior said "I just saw him in the dressing room - I think it was his calf. I'm hoping it's cramp; he's getting work on it right now because we want him, obviously, fit for Tuesday [against Brighton and Hove Albion]. He ran himself into the ground for the club tonight and I expect nothing different from a man of his stature and quality".

Set to rejoin squad
Fernandez is set to rejoin Chelsea's squad on Tuesday after serving his club suspension, according to coach Liam Rosenior, per the BBC. "Any team will miss Enzo. Myself backed by the leadership group and sporting directors made a decision for the long-term of the club. There's nothing personal with Enzo. He will be back with the group on Tuesday. He is a top, top player and a really good guy. Really looking forward to having him back. The hurdle I spoke about. Enzo wanted to have a conversation with the leadership group - the main players of the group - and speak to the players. The time I had the press conference, he hadn't done that yet. He has spoken with me, the leadership group and all of the players and we look forward to welcoming him back."

Suspended by club
Fernandez has been suspended by Chelsea for at least the next two matches following a disciplinary breach, according to coach Liam Rosenior. "I spoke with Enzo an hour ago. As a football club, with me as part of the decision, he won't be available for tomorrow's game or Manchester City next Sunday. A line was crossed in terms of our culture and what we want to build. Enzo, firstly, as a character, a person and a player, I have the utmost respect. He's frustrated because he wants us to be successful. In terms of the decision, it's not all about me, or the sporting directors, the ownership, the players, we are aligned in our decision. The door is not closed on Enzo. It's a sanction. You have to protect the culture and in terms of that, a line was crossed."
