Enzo Fernandez return for Manchester United game officially confirmed

Enzo Fernandez is in contention to return for Chelsea’s clash against Manchester United this weekend, with the midfielder back in training following his recent absence.

Speaking in his pre-match press conference, Chelsea boss confirmed that Fernandez has re-joined the group and is available for selection.

The update, published on the club’s official website, comes after the Argentine missed recent fixtures against Port Vale and Manchester City.

Rosenior also provided an update on Levi Colwill, who has returned to first-team training following a long-term knee injury.

The defender is set to feature for the Under-21s in a behind-closed-doors friendly as he builds match fitness ahead of a potential return before the end of the season.

Fernandez’s absence was not injury-related but instead the result of an internal disciplinary sanction.

The midfielder was dropped after controversial comments about his future.

His remarks suggested a preference for living in Spain over his long-term commitment to Chelsea.

The situation sparked backlash among supporters and reportedly caused friction within the dressing room.

It led Rosenior to take action and leave Enzo Fernandez out of the squad for two matches.

However, his return now adds another layer of intrigue to an already significant fixture.

It has already been reported that up to 13 players could miss the game between Chelsea and Manchester United, highlighting the potential impact of returning figures on both sides.

Today, Kobbie Mainoo returned to group training after he missed the 2-1 defeat to Leeds United through injury and is now in contention to feature.

There is also added narrative surrounding Alejandro Garnacho, who joined Chelsea from Manchester United last summer.

The winger recently reposted Manchester United related content on TikTok, drawing attention ahead of a match he is expected to feature in.

Fernandez’s return strengthens Chelsea in midfield at a crucial stage of the season.

The look to respond to a difficult run of form and push for Champions League qualification.

With both teams dealing with absences but also welcoming key players back, the fixture at Stamford Bridge is shaping up to be one defined by returning figures and off-pitch storylines as much as the football itself.
