Chelsea Star Enzo Fernandez has finally spoken after being out for the rest of the season by injury
Enzo Fernandez, a player for Chelsea, said that surgery to fix a groin injury that will end his season was successful.
The 23-year-old defender had surgery on a muscle problem that he says has been bothering him since October and will not be able to play in the Blues’ last six games of the season.
When he moved from Benfica to Chelsea in January 2023, Fernandez was the most expensive player in the history of the Premier League. He said that he ended his season early and had surgery because the pain got “more and more intense” until he “couldn’t even stand it anymore.”
But on Friday, Fernandez posted on Instagram that the surgery went well and that he will be “stronger than ever” when he gets back to work.
“Thank God, my surgery went well and went as planned. The pain had been getting worse for six months, so I had to have surgery, Fernandez wrote.
“I could avoid it because I was always giving myself shots and medicines to treat my condition.” But a few weeks ago, the pain got worse and worse, and none of this was helping. It got worse when I trained and played, which was annoying, but I didn’t want to stop playing the games I had…
“Even with everything going on, I always try to do my best when I play for Chelsea or the national team, but I can’t take it anymore…
“Thank you always for the texts, words of support, and gifts of love.” “Hey everyone, I promise I’ll be back better than ever.”
Mauricio Pochettino supported Chelsea’s choice to let Fernandez have surgery and miss the last few games of the season at his pre-game news conference on Friday.
Pochettino said, “Enzo Fernandez is hurts, he wasn’t playing normally, so the most important thing is to fix the issue.” If he can’t play, it’s bad for us, the club, and everyone else.
