Enzo Fernández received a strong kick from Cuti Romero at 31 minutes of play in the Chelsea-Tottenham match, but that tackle by the Argentine defender (who saw red) was not the cause of the former River player’s departure at 13′ of the second half. The Argentine midfielder, in reality, he twisted his right ankle in a previous action and as he continued to have discomfort, Pochettino decided to replace him with Mudryk.

Is Enzo’s call up for the Argentine National Team’s next commitments in danger? La Scaloneta, due to the double qualifying date, will have to face Uruguay on Thursday the 16th and Brazil on Tuesday the 21st. But according to those close to the player and the English club, it was only a slight sprain and even They believe that he will be available to Poche for Sunday’s duel between Chelsea and Manchester City en Stamford Bridge.

If so, next Monday, Enzo would be joining the National Team’s training sessions at the AFA grounds in Ezeiza. Therefore, his departure in the game against the Spurs would only be a scare and not something serious that prevents him from being available for Lionel Scaloni.

Cuti’s kick

Many speculated that his departure from the field was due to the infraction committed by the Argentine defender and teammate of his on the National Team, who hit him in the left ankle area. But not. It was in a previous play in which Enzo stepped wrong and twisted his right ankle.
