The Blues have been handed a major boost ahead of their high-stakes encounter with United after Rosenior confirmed that Fernandez is back in contention. The World Cup winner missed the club's recent FA Cup triumph over Port Vale and the previous league outing against Manchester City following an internal suspension for comments made about potentially joining Real Madrid, but he has now rejoined the main group.
Speaking during his pre-match press conference, the head coach explained: "Enzo has been with the group and has been training very, very well. So, it’s business as usual in terms of selection for the game. Enzo has come back to the group this week, and the group has been fantastic. In terms of his training, his application to training, Enzo has been fantastic as well."
