Xabi Alonso has refrained from guaranteeing that Enzo Fernandez will still be at Chelsea after the transfer window shuts. However, the Argentine midfielder is still training with the squad and is set to be involved in the League Cup clash against Luton.
At a press conference before the game, Alonso was specifically quizzed about the situation regarding the Argentine midfielder.
Are you expecting Enzo Fernandez to play tomorrow evening?
Yes, we are counting on him to take part. He has been training and continues to work very well. He’s a true professional and will be included.
Would you like him to stay at Chelsea after the transfer window closes?
We want the strongest team possible. We know his qualities, he has already shown them. We need to wait, but for now we are focused on tomorrow’s match, and we’ll see how the situation develops.
Fernandez's future has become a hot topic in recent days as the transfer window nears its end. Alonso did not provide a direct answer regarding whether the midfielder will remain at Chelsea.
