Enzo Fernandez is in significant trouble with Chelsea following an explosive international break interview. Yankee Scores reports.
Chelsea boss Liam Rosenior confirmed the midfielder is dropped for the next two matches.
The Argentine will miss the FA Cup quarter-final against Port Vale this Saturday. He will also sit out the high-stakes Premier League clash with Manchester City next weekend.
Frustration at Stamford Bridge
The sanction follows Chelsea’s embarrassing 8-2 aggregate loss to PSG in the Champions League. Fernandez publicly expressed frustration over the team’s performance and cast doubt on his future.
Yankee Scores reports that teammates are angry with Fernandez for his public criticisms. Many feel the vice-captain “threw the squad under the bus” during a difficult run.
Record Signing, Uncertain Future
Fernandez joined Chelsea from Benfica for a British record £107 million in January 2023. Since then, he has been a mainstay in the midfield for the Blues.
“It is disappointing for Enzo to speak that way,” Rosenior stated during Friday’s press conference.
“A line was crossed in terms of our culture,” Rosenior continued. “The ownership and players are aligned in this decision.”
A Growing Crisis at Chelsea?
This drama follows recent comments from Marc Cucurella, who slammed the club’s youth-focused transfer policy. The Spanish defender claimed the strategy overlooks the need for experienced leadership.
