“I can’t stand it anymore”: Enzo Fernandez comments on the pain he endured before undergoing a surgery
Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernandez has released a statement for the first time after undergoing a hernia injury. The Argentinian revealed that he has been holding back the pain while playing for Chelsea for the past few months.
Previously, Enzo did not want to go under the knife as Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino explained the same. After some consideration, the former Benfica player finally agreed to undergo surgery for his own good.
Enzo Fernandez comments on his successful surgery
“My operation was successful, I needed to get this surgery since l been dragging the pain for about six months,” he said via Fabrizio Romano’s tweet on X. “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 in the games I had”.
“Whenever I got to play with Chelsea jersey, like the national team, I always try to do my best despite all this but I can’t stand it anymore. I will be back soon and stronger!”
Enzo will end the season earlier due to the surgery and will miss all Chelsea’s remaining games. However, he is racing against the time as he is pushing himself to be fit for Copa America this summer.
