helsea and Argentina midfielder Enzo Fernández has stepped away from international commitments, pointing to an ongoing knee problem that’s been nagging him for the past four months.
In a post on X from transfer expert Fabrizio Romano on Saturday, Enzo shared: “I was just talking to the medical team because I’ve had a problem with my knee for the last four months. I will not be available with Argentina.”
The 25-year-old has been a cornerstone of Argentina’s midfield, celebrated for his cool-headed play, precise long-range passes, and solid defensive work.
This absence hits hard as the World Cup winners gear up for key upcoming internationals, including a friendly against Angola on November 14.
With Enzo sidelined, manager Lionel Scaloni faces tough choices to reshape the midfield and cover the void left by one of his most dynamic talents.
Despite the concern, Enzo shone brightly in Chelsea’s convincing 3-0 Premier League victory over Wolves on Saturday, logging 83 minutes before asking to be subbed—partly to protect that troublesome knee. The Blues’ boss Enzo Maresca confirmed the substitution was precautionary, amid a packed schedule that includes clashes with Nottingham Forest, Ajax, and Sunderland post-break.
Fans will be hoping this managed rest helps Enzo bounce back swiftly, as both club and country lean heavily on his vision and energy.
