Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino has confirmed the absence of midfielder Enzo Fernandez for their upcoming Premier League match against Wolves on Christmas Eve.
During his pre-match press conference on Friday, Pochettino revealed that Fernandez is dealing with a hernia problem. This development follows Fernandez being substituted off after only 32 minutes in Chelsea’s recent Carabao Cup victory over Newcastle United.
The Argentina international exhibited signs of discomfort as he left the field, and Pochettino later mentioned that he ‘felt sick.’
