Chelsea's Fernandez out of Argentina squad due to knee issue

Enzo Fernandez will miss Argentina's friendly due to synovitis in his right knee and return to Chelsea for treatment amid a busy schedule, having played 860 minutes this season.

  • Earlier this week, Enzo Fernandez, Chelsea midfielder, withdrew from Argentina national team and is returning to Chelsea's Cobham training centre for assessment and treatment.
  • After playing 78 minutes in the Venezuela friendly, Argentina's medical team diagnosed synovitis with swelling in Enzo Fernandez's right knee, prompting his withdrawal.
  • Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca has relied on Enzo Fernandez heavily, who has accumulated 860 minutes across 10 starts and scored three goals with an assist in seven matches.
  • He will miss Argentina's friendly on Wednesday, and Chelsea face Nottingham Forest next Saturday, with Fernandez's return for that match in doubt after treatment.
  • Between October 18 and November 8, Chelsea play seven matches, including an October 29 EFL Cup tie, while Enzo Maresca's suspension gives Willy Caballero temporary managerial duties for the Forest trip.
