Enzo Fernández, Chelsea player from England in the Premier League and fundamental piece In the Argentine national team that became world champion in Qatar 2022, it has its sights set on what will be the Copa América of the current year, and it is precisely the Albiceleste team that seeks to defend the title obtained in the 2021 edition in Brazil .
Why will Fernández have surgery?
Precisely for this reason, Fernández made the decision to undergo surgery to solve an inguinal hernia that has been bothering him since last year and after his intervention he will then begin the rehabilitation process to arrive in optimal physical condition at the continental event that will begin next June 20 in the United States.
Recovery time
The 23-year-old midfielder will be undergoing surgery in the next few hours and will have a recovery time of approximately 3 to 4 weeks. According to sources close to the former River Plate player in Argentina, doctors estimate that in less than 7 days he could be doing jogging exercises on the field again to progressively begin the depth of rehabilitation.
The Argentine saw 66 minutes of action last Tuesday, April 23 in what was the defeat suffered for Chelsea 5 goals to 0 against Arsenal in a new day of the English Premier League. Enzo made the decision to undergo surgery after consulting him and with the consent of the coaching staff of the Argentine national team, which is headed by Lionel Scaloni, all in order to arrive in the best physical shape for the new edition of the Copa América and defend the albiceleste championship.
On April 10, Enzo Fernández gave a few words in an interview to the website of the club where he lives, and the self-criticism he made about his current state of play was quite important since he considers that it is still a little distant from the version that the world was able to see in the 2022 Qatar World Cup: “I’m trying to get there , to the version of me that was seen at the World Cup. “I want to feel like that Enzo, who played in the World Cup.” He added that, although he feels better every day, “I still don’t feel one hundred percent.”
The Argentine player has been a regular starter in the Chelsea lineup, a team led by by his compatriot Mauricio Pochettino, highlighted that he is still adapting to the pace and intensity of play that the Premier League shows today, working hard to achieve it and contribute much more to the club. “It won’t be easy because the World Cup has already passed and I’m still growing as a player and developing my skills, but I’m looking for that Enzo. “I want to feel completely myself again,” said the Argentine.
This decline that the world champion himself recognizes generated a lot of controversy and commotion., especially in the media and social networks, and former English footballer Darren Bent had words about it. “Enzo cost over £100m and I know the argument is ‘he’s won the world cup’, but I need someone to tell me what he does well. He has no idea what’s going on behind him defensively. His passing and his decision-making are horrible,” he criticized in statements to Talk Sport.
Copa América for Argentina
The 2024 Copa América in which Argentina will debut on June 20 in Atlanta against Canada in Group Ait will be a tough test for Fernández due to everything he must demonstrate and especially for the enthusiasm of an entire country that hopes and aspires to revalidate the title achieved in 2021. The world champions will take the field again on the 25th against Chile , in New Jersey, and they will close the phase against Peru on the 29th, in Miami.
