Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernández spoke this Monday about his expectations to play in the first Copa América for Argentina and appeared anxious. The 23-year-old underwent surgery in April this year, due to a groin injury, and missed the end of the season for the English club. However, he must be fit to play in the tournament for his national team.
“I feel very good, looking forward to getting back on the field and for the Copa América to arrive. I’m already training with the ball and my recovery is well advanced. I’m really looking forward to being able to play. Furthermore, after the World Cup, it will be very special “, he said in an interview with DSPORTS.
Enzo also revealed that he played eight months with severe groin pain, which prevented him from performing 100%. In the current season, the athlete played 40 games, scored seven goals and provided three assists.
“I played with pain and injections for eight months. I had to make the decision to have surgery. I was hurting the team and I didn’t want to expose myself.”
Enzo also praised Inter Miami striker Lionel Messi. Together, they won the 2022 World Cup with the Argentine national team.
“I’m always grateful to be able to play with the best in history. I have the privilege of having been world champion with him. I admire him a lot, not only for what he does on the field, but for what he does off it. We hope he stays with us for a long time” , he stated.
This year’s Copa América will be held in the United States between June 20th and July 14th.
