Mauricio Pochettino told which Chelsea player is 'a bit frustrated'

Enzo Fernandez has been left 'a bit frustrated' by Chelsea's progress over the last year - according to his Father, Don Raul.

There was much excitement over Fernandez's £107m move to Stamford Bridge last January as he became the Blues latest big money signing just over a month after he had played a lead role in helping Argentina become World Cup winners.

The former Benfica star made his debut in a goalless draw with Fulham just days after putting pen-to-paper on a long-term contract and helped the Blues reach the last eight of the Champions League before a 4-0 aggregate defeat against Real Madrid ended any thoughts of rounding off a remarkable season with European football's biggest prize.

Progress during the current season has been slow, despite the absence of European competition, but there are two possible routes to silverware on the table as Mauricio Pochettino's new look Blues side remain in the FA Cup and will face Liverpool in the final of the Carabao Cup in late February. As his son prepares to celebrate the one-year anniversary of his move to West London, Fernandez Senior has given an insight into his mindset as he looks to add further silverware to his already impressive haul.

He told ESTO: “He feels a bit frustrated (at Chelsea) because he was always a winner, so going through these moments is not easy. I tell him to stay calm, don’t read social media, keep training and things will get better. So much so that they are going to play in the final of one of the cups in England against Liverpool. Chelsea are in a moment of transition, training with young players, but I tell them to be patient, things will get better.

"It’s a young team that needs to adapt. You are always supporting him from a distance, telling him these things, thinking positively. I tell him that the team is going to make it. One more year and he’ll be fine, they’ll be better."
