"Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernandez withdrew from the Argentina squad during the latest international break with an apparent knee injury. The combative midfielder has played in every Premier League game so far for the Blues, and was an integral part of the group that won the Club World Cup in the summer. Fernandez, who signed for Chelsea from Benfica for 106.8m in 2023, has enjoyed a fruitful start to the 25/26 season - scoring three times and registering two assists so far."
"It is thought that the midfielder had always planned to miss the friendly match with Puerto Rico this week and had planned to see family during his leave, according to BBC's Chelsea reporter Nizaar Kinsella. Considering the amount of football he has played over the last year, including during the summer off-season at the Club World Cup, it seems the decision was made with a view to managing his load."
