VERY SAD news has been announced for Chelsea Star Boy Enzo Fernandez this morning ahead of FA Cup quarter-final clash
So sad that Enzo Fernandez will miss Chelsea’s FA Cup quarter-final meeting – walexsports.
Enzo Fernandez will miss Chelsea’s FA Cup quarter-final match against Leicester City. See why.
Chelsea defeated Leeds United 3-2 in the fifth round of the FA Cup. Enzo Fernandez was a star in that game.
The Argentine midfielder began the game as captain and led from the front with his passing and creativity.
Enzo provided a fantastic assist for Conor Gallagher’s late-winning goal to top off an outstanding performance.
Chelsea has been drawn against another Championship side, Leicester City, in the FA Cup quarter-finals.
However, Enzo Fernandez will miss the FA Cup quarterfinals. Why is that?
Enzo Fernandez was cautioned during the game against Leeds and has received two yellow cards in the FA Cup this season.
The rules indicate that any player who receives two bookings in a single FA Cup campaign would be suspended for the following game.
This means Enzo will be suspended for the FA Cup quarterfinal against Leicester City.
Enzo has been an important player for Mauricio Pochettino, but the Blues manager will have to find an option against Leicester City.
Conor Gallagher, meanwhile, thanked Enzo Fernandez for his assistance.
Conor Gallagher commented: “It’s nice. I obviously enjoy scoring goals, and I struggled to do so before they started coming, so maybe I can keep getting them.
“It was a great pass from Enzo, and a good goal,” he said of the midfielder’s contribution.
“We were really happy to get one right at the end because obviously it meant we didn’t have to go into extra time, and I think we were looking a bit tired.”
