Injured Enzo Fernández pulls out of Argentina squad

98

Argentina and Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernández has stepped away from international duty due to an ongoing knee issue that has been bothering him for the past four months.

In a post on X shared by Fabrizio Romano on Saturday, Enzo explained, “I’ve been talking with the medical staff because I’ve been dealing with a knee problem for the last four months.”

“I will not be available with Argentina.”

The 25-year-old has been a key player in Argentina’s midfield, known for his composure, passing range, and defensive contributions.

His absence comes at a crucial time as the team prepares for upcoming international fixtures and friendly matches.

Fernández’s withdrawal raises questions about Argentina’s midfield options, as coach Lionel Scaloni now looks to adjust his squad and fill the gap left by the talented midfielder.

Enzo played a key role in Chelsea’s 3-0 win against Wolves on Saturday.
