In a dramatic EFL Cup (Carabao Cup) quarter-final clash, Chelsea secured victory against Newcastle United, prevailing 4-2 on penalties following a 1-1 draw. The match spotlight, however, shifted towards midfielder Enzo Fernandez, prompting Chelsea legend Karen Carney to express her apprehension over his well-being.
Arguably, the spotlight fell on Fernandez, who made a comeback into the starting lineup alongside Moises Caicedo in midfield, only to be substituted in the 32nd minute for Armando Broja due to reported indisposition. Despite Chelsea’s triumph, the Argentina World Cup winner appeared visibly distraught at the conclusion of the match.
Reflecting on Fernandez’s demeanor, Carney conveyed her concern, stating (as reported by The Chelsea Chronicle): “He looks upset there Enzo, hopefully it is not serious or an injury or anything.”
Chelsea’s victory in the EFL Cup quarter-finals was punctuated by a pivotal storyline, transcending the on-field action to encompass the well-being of a key player. As the footballing world awaits updates on Fernandez’s condition, the overarching concern for his health lingers amidst the jubilation of Chelsea’s triumph.
