Chelsea is keeping a close eye on the return of former midfielder Fernández, with club director Rafa Maresca saying the move will be handled with caution. The club’s top priority is the player’s fitness, especially after a recent string of injuries. In an interview, Maresca explained that Fernández had missed several games because of knee problems and that the medical staff is doing a thorough check‑up before putting him back on the pitch.
Maresca also highlighted the player’s disciplinary history. Fernández has accumulated a handful of red cards in the past, including two in the last season, which raised concerns about his temperament in matches. The club wants to avoid repeat incidents that could hurt their campaign in the Premier League.
“We’re careful not to rush a player back,” Maresca said. “We need him ready and safe, and we’re not going to let his past disciplinary record jeopardise the team.”
Chelsea’s manager has been tight‑fisted about any changes, especially after the squad’s mixed results last season. The club’s medical team is currently reviewing Fernández’s recovery progress, and fans expect a decision soon. If the player’s health checks are green, he could be a valuable addition as Chelsea pushes to secure a better finish in the league.
