Chelsea handed worrying injury blow in Tottenham win and star could miss Manchester City game

Chelsea are sweating over the fitness of midfielder Enzo Fernandez after he suffered from a really reckless tackle from Cristian Romero in the 4-1 win over Tottenham.

The Argentine midfielder had to be withdrawn in the second half after a below-par performance and limping throughout most of his remaining time on the field. One of the reasons Chelsea have struggled this season has been the lack of continuity from players with injuries holding back the likes of Reece James and Armando Broja.

the Blues grabbed the morale-boosting 4-1 win over Tottenham that has taken them to 10th on the league table but will now have to work on the fitness of their World Cup midfielder who has been a major stay and drives the team forward.

Ahead of the game Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino admitted he needed all three points and couldn't hide his delight after getting all three points.

He told reporters after the game: “Yes. Thank you for the good question because a team that arrives like Chelsea, which is a very new team, it’s a thing that we are still far away from what we want, we are building something there, but we need time to come to the leader against a team that was full of confidence and after to concede because we really, we started the game really bad, very sloppy and we cannot connect, we were very nervous and then how reacts the team.

“They deserve all of the credit the players, of course, and the team I think we were calm after because we started to create chances and force them to make the mistake and then we got the goal and I think after the control was there.

“It’s true that we concede some chances that we cannot concede that, I agree with you. Maybe we can assess the performance and see the goal of Dier or this type of situation or Son, that we lose the ball and we allow them to run, of course, we need to control better.”
