There is a concern surrounding
Enzo Fernández
. It is not new, but the passage of time, at least, forces us to consider the situation. The pain due to the beginning of
pubalgia
that appeared at the end of 2023 does not go away with the treatment carried out by the world champion midfielder. This Monday, he did not even go to the
Chelsea
bench against
Everton and watched from the stands
Cole Palmer
's recital
with three goals in 28 minutes. And there are those who are beginning to raise the need for surgery, two months before the start of the Copa América.
"Axel Disasi and Enzo Fernández underwent medical evaluations before the game
," the official Chelsea account responded in Spanish to a user who asked about the absence of the San Martín native.

He had already missed two matches between the Christmas and New Year celebrations (Wolverhampton and Crystal Palace), which forced Argentine coach Mauricio Pochettino to refer to the injury. Beyond those statements on December 19, Enzo Fernández
retired with tears in his eyes after asking for a change after 30 minutes of play
and watching from the stands the triumph on penalties (4-2) over Newcastle, who at that time moment allowed them to advance to the semi-finals of the English League Cup.
"Enzo was a little sick before the game and that's why he wasn't playing well, so I asked him how he was and he asked me to go out
," the Rosario coach had explained at the end of the match.

They looked askance at Enzo Fernández for his performance. The world champion with the Scaloneta arrived at the English club as the figure of the market, where the Blues put 121 million euros on the table to get him from Benfica, which is paid for a net breaker, and now they are demanding something from Enzo that they do not can give them.
"My balance at Chelsea is somewhat turbulent
," Enzo declared a few weeks ago. In England they first stated that the midfielder was seriously thinking about leaving, and in the last few hours they warned about the possibility of Chelsea activating the clause of one more year provided for in the contract.
Enzo Fernández only did not play five games of the season
. Four were for the Premier League (including this Monday) and one for the FA Cup (the victory over Leicester in the quarterfinals).
But now, rumors about a possible surgery to treat groin pain caused by pubalgia have once again taken shape. That decision would leave him out of the Copa América with the Argentine National Team, which would add a complication for Lionel Scaloni who always thinks of him as an alternative to form the trident with Rodrigo De Paul, Alexis Mac Allister and Giovani Lo Celso.
