The Argentinian will be included in the London team. “Enzo spoke to me, the leadership group and all the other players and now we are looking forward to welcoming him back into our ranks,” Rosenior said, according to sportal.bg.
The 25-year-old missed the FA Cup win against Port Vale and the 3-0 home defeat to Manchester City.
“I'm looking forward to having him back in the squad again next weekend against Manchester United“, the manager continued. “Sometimes you make decisions that are not based on the short-term effect, but on what you want to see in the long-term. This was a long-term decision made by myself, the directors and the club, together with the leadership group of players, to ensure that our values and culture are in the right place for the future.”
Asked if Chelsea could have benefited from Fernandez's presence on Sunday, the manager replied: “Maybe, maybe“.

In the current season, Enzo Fernandez played in 46 games, during which he scored 12 goals and provided 6 assists. He is quoted at 90 million euros, according to transfermarkt.com.
