Enzo Fernandez Set to Play for Chelsea Amid Transfer Uncertainty

Enzo Fernandez is anticipated to play for Chelsea in the EFL Cup match against Luton Town on Thursday, although his future with the club remains uncertain.

Xabi Alonso confirmed that Fernandez is training well and will be involved in the upcoming game, but he did not guarantee that Fernandez would remain with Chelsea after the transfer deadline on September 1. Manchester City is reportedly interested in acquiring the Argentine midfielder as part of their midfield overhaul.

Chelsea had previously set a deadline for City to finalize a deal for Fernandez, but they are still open to selling him if they receive an offer of at least £120 million and can secure a replacement. Alonso emphasized the importance of maintaining a balanced squad and is prepared for any potential changes.
