Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernández has undergone successful surgery to address a groin problem, the club has confirmed. As a result of the operation, Fernández will miss the remainder of the 2023/24 season due to the required rehabilitation period.
Impact on Chelsea’s Season
The Argentine international’s absence comes at a critical time for Chelsea, as the team navigates the closing stages of the season. Fernández has been a key player for the club since his arrival, and his unavailability could impact the team’s performance in upcoming matches.
Recent Commitment to Chelsea
Prior to his injury, Fernández had expressed his dedication to Chelsea, dismissing transfer rumours and committing his future to the club. His agent, Pérez, also confirmed Fernández’s commitment earlier this year, emphasizing the player’s focus on his career at Chelsea.
Chelsea’s official statement noted: “He will begin a period of rehabilitation, sidelining him for the remainder of Chelsea’s 2023/24 season”. This development will require adjustments in the team’s lineup and strategy as they cope without Fernández’s presence on the field.
