🇦🇷 Garnacho's struggles go on, subbed at half-time in the Premier League | OneFootball

The Premier League clash between Chelsea and Nottingham Forest left a bitter note for one player in particular. Alejandro Garnacho was substituted at halftime by the Blues’ manager, a move that underscores the worrying drought of the young Argentine in London. Fans are wondering what’s happening with the star signing, who has yet to take off in English football.

The statistics are clear and painful. After six appearances with Chelsea, the winger still hasn’t recorded a single goal or assist—a negative run that is starting to weigh on the player’s morale. The immediate impact expected from his move from Manchester United hasn’t materialized, raising doubts about his adaptation to London and the tactical setup.

This poor run comes at a crucial moment in his career. With the 2026 World Cup around the corner, Garnacho’s performances are under close scrutiny from the Argentina national team staff. His talent is undeniable, but the lack of minutes and direct goal contributions could push him down the pecking order in the fierce competition for a spot with the Albiceleste.

The expectations around Alejandro Garnacho are immense. Considered one of Argentina’s great prospects and a potential game-changer, the player urgently needs to turn his situation around in the Premier League. Every match is an opportunity to show he has the mentality and level to be a regular for both Chelsea and his national team.

The second half continues without him, and the focus shifts to the young talent’s immediate future. He must find himself—and the goal—again as soon as possible to prevent his World Cup dream from fading. Time is ticking, and in elite football, patience has its limits.
