As a result, the Argentine was left out of the Blues' emphatic 7-0 win over Port Vale in the FA Cup quarter-final.

However, Fernández announced his return to the competition in style with an early opener against Leeds at Wembley.

The midfielder rose highest inside the area to head home from Pedro Neto's cross mid-way through the first-half.

Enzo Fernandez scores Chelsea's first goal against top-flight opposition since 11 March. Pascal Struijk is caught on the ball — Leeds are made to pay the price. A fine header for Fernandez, who had acres of space to score his 13th goal of the season. Chelsea lead at Wembley.
