Fernandez is focused on his professional commitments for now, having helped Chelsea to Conference League and FIFA Club World Cup crowns in 2025. He has become a leader at Stamford Bridge, filling the armband at times when Reece James is absent, and has four goals to his name this season.
Former Premier League star Micah Richards has said of Fernandez justifying the faith shown in him by the Blues, with a big-money transfer from Benfica having been completed in January 2023: "I love [Moises] Caicedo, I love Enzo. Enzo has changed his game completely. He was a holder, but now he gets forward at every opportunity, he takes penalties.
"He’s one of the most, I don’t want to say improved because he still bought for £100m. But in terms of being able to adapt from one position to the other, the way he leads his team, he’s a top midfielder, really top midfielder."
Chelsea will be back in Premier League action against Wolves on Saturday, before Argentina take in a friendly date with Angola on November 14 - with the Albiceleste, who still have Lionel Messi at their disposal for now, having already secured qualification for the 2026 World Cup.
