Midfielder Enzo Fernandez just lately misplaced his beginning place in Enzo Maresca’s Chelsea A-Workforce that begins league video games, with the Italian preferring to select Romeo Lavia and Moises Caicedo forward of him.
I believe Caicedo is THE everlasting fixture in that beginning line up, with the remainder up for grabs actually. Cole Palmer is maybe one other.
So Lavia and Fernandez are competing immediately for that different midfield spot, and Fernandez has definitely staked his declare once more. Lavia was again from a small knock on Saturday so he sat the bench as anticipated, though he did come on in a while however truly gave away a little bit of a foolish penalty.
Lavia has been good although and has additionally earned his beginning spot. The subsequent large query will probably be, who begins on Thursday evening when Chelsea face Heidenheim within the Convention League? Lavia is prone to get the nod after Fernandez performed on Saturday. It can then be right down to Lavia to earn his spot again, that’s just about the way it works with strong and high quality competitors.
Fernandez did greater than sufficient to maintain his place along with his efficiency in opposition to Leicester, incomes our SPTC man of the match and enjoying very nicely. His angle and power was nice and an ideal instance to the remainder of the squad on what it’s good to do once you get your probability to play on this crew to try to earn a spot.
Reacting to shedding his spot within the beginning Xl for league video games was what he wanted to do, and he did it completely. You possibly can see why Maresca sees management in Fernandez.
His type has dipped in an out throughout his whole Chelsea profession to date. Everyone knows he must be extra constant. However maybe what has been occurring off the sphere in his non-public life actually has effected him.
Let’s hope this could be a turning level for Fernandez and he continues to indicate prime all spherical performances of an entire midfielder that he confirmed on Saturday.
