Fernandez had a good opportunity in the first half which he arguably should have scored, but he was taken off in the second half.

Rosenior said after the game he hoped Fernandez would be fit for the game against Brighton on Tuesday evening, suggesting he had a calf issue.

However, Edul has provided an update on the situation and has suggested Fernandez isn’t actually injured at all.

He took to X.com and said:

“Enzo Fernández came off due to fatigue. He has no injury.”

There are still doubts surrounding Fernandez’s future, and it’s thought negotiations over a new contract will resume after the World Cup.
