Xabi Alonso, Chelsea manager, once again addressed Enzo Fernández's absence from the English League Cup match, issuing what is described as a hint at the Argentine player. The coach's statements come at a time of growing speculation about the midfielder's possible departure from the club.
The coach emphasized that it is very important to him that players feel willing to play, suggesting dissatisfaction with Enzo Fernández's posture or attitude. This is not the first time Alonso has commented on the Argentine's situation.
The 23-year-old midfielder's departure is gaining more and more strength, with several reports indicating that the player could leave Stamford Bridge during the transfer window. Enzo Fernández joined Chelsea in January 2023 for a club-record amount.
The Argentine, who was a teammate of Alonso during his playing career with the Spanish national team, has not been able to establish himself as an undisputed starter in the London team under the current manager's command.
