Enzo Fernandez undergoes surgery, reveals truth behind his injury problems

Chelsea midfielder, Enzo Fernandez has opened up on his injury problems, noting that he has been playing through pain for the past six months.

It was confirmed on Friday that Fernandez will miss the final few weeks of the season after undergoing a surgery.

The Argentina international made the decision so he will be fit and ready to compete at Copa America this summer.

Fernandez has now revealed that he’s been playing through pains for the past six months before taking the bold step.

“I wanted to let you know that my operation was successful and everything went well, thank God,” he wrote on Instagram. “I needed to get this surgery because I was dragging the pain on for about six months. It was something I could avoid while constantly treating myself with injections and medications.

“But a few weeks ago the pain started to get more and more intense, without any of this taking effect, and it was worse as I trained and played, annoyingly, but I didn’t want to stop being part of the games.

“Whenever I get to play with the Chelsea jersey, like the national team, I always try to do my best despite all this, but I can’t stand it anymore.

“Thank you for the messages, encouragement and your token of love always. Shout out to everyone, I promise you I’m coming back stronger than ever.”
