Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernandez will miss the rest of the season after undergoing groin surgery on Thursday.

His absence adds to Chelsea’s injury woes, with manager Mauricio Pochettino often having as many as 12 players sidelined this season. Fernandez has made 28 league appearances for Chelsea since joining from Benfica for a club-record fee of 107 million pounds in January 2023.
