Misses out with knock Fernandez is out for Monday's match against Wolves due to injury, according to manager Enzo Maresca.

Impact Fernandez is out despite it seeming like he would be fit to face Wolves, with the midfielder missing out due to undisclosed issues. This is forcing a change, with the newly fit Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall taking his spot. With it only being a minor injury, he will look to be fit for their next contest on Saturday.

Impact It has been a while since Fernandez's goal-contribution streak recently ended, but that does not mean the midfielder is trying his best to get back to the level of form he once provided. Despite no goals or assists across his last three appearances, they included 10 crosses (two accurate), 10 chances created and five shots on his part. Quality has been far less impressive then, with the three appearances also including only two accurate crosses and two shots on goal.

Two score sheet-less matches Fernandez recorded one shot (one on goal), three crosses (zero accurate) and three corners in Thursday's 2-1 defeat versus Fulham.

Impact Fernandez snapped his scoresheet run after going six Premier League games with three goals and four assists. He's already surpassed his assists total from 2023/24 as he already in line to hit multiple career high's following a disappointing first campaign with the Blues.

DECEMBER 26, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Goal-contribution streak continues Fernandez assisted once to go with two shots (one on goal), three crosses (one accurate) and five corners in Sunday's 2-1 victory over Brentford.

Impact Sometimes, all it takes is luck to go one's way for an assist, which was the case for Fernandez on Sunday. He delivered a long pass to Nicolas Jackson, and the latter did the rest by finding space against Ethan Pinnock one-on-one and scoring past Mark Flekken. And thus, Fernandez has either a goal or an assist in each of his last six games. He will look to make it seven next Sunday, when Chelsea's team is scheduled at Everton against a team that has conceded only two goals in its last five games at Goodison.

DECEMBER 15, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Scores in Sunday's wild win Fernandez scored one goal to go with three shots (one on goal), five crosses (zero accurate) and three corners in Sunday's 4-3 win versus Tottenham Hotspur.

Impact Fernandez continued his hot run of form Sunday with an unassisted goal in the 73rd minute which took the 3-2 lead. He now has three goals and three assists this season, all of which have come in his last five matches. On the defensive end he added one tackle, two interceptions and one clearance in his full 90 minutes of action. Although it's unlikely Fernandez continues to record a goal contribution in every match, the fact that he's become an important part of Chelsea's attack is a great sign for him moving forward.

Logs another assist Fernandez assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal), five crosses (two accurate) and three corners in Wednesday's 5-1 win over Southampton.

Impact To make room for Malo Gusto, who is at full health again, one of Chelsea's defensive midfielders was expected to be benched Wednesday. Considering how well Fernandez has played lately, it made sense that he was not the one who got demoted, that being Romeo Lavia instead. Fernandez rewarded said decision and Chelsea head coach Enzo Maresca's decision to put the former on corners. One of his three found Axel Disasi, who headed in Chelsea's first goal from the cross. The assist gives Fernandez three in his last four.

DECEMBER 4, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Revelation continues Fernandez scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal), two crosses (zero accurate) and two corners in Sunday's 3-0 win versus Aston Villa.

Impact This time, Romeo Lavia was added back to Chelsea's starting XI, which did not exclude Fernandez. Instead of Wesley Fofana (hamstring), Malo Gusto (no injury) and Reece James (hamstring) at right-back, Moises Caicedo was pushed out of defensive midfielder to serve even more of a defensive position. Fernandez took his latest opportunity in stride, taking a Cole Palmer pass to log Chelsea's second goal Sunday. With the Blues set for a game-packed December schedule and Fernandez in excellent form, it is hard to envision him absent for much of the month.

DECEMBER 1, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Steps up in start Fernandez scored one goal and assisted once from three shots and three chances created in Saturday's 2-1 win over Leicester City.

Impact Even though Romeo Lavia (hamstring) was healthy, Chelsea's head coach Enzo Maresca paired Fernandez with Moises Caicedo instead. While the Argentinian was not perfect, as Leicester City's goal can attest, he was Chelsea's best in a close win. Nicolas Jackson's lone interception in relatively open space found its way to Fernandez, who rewarded his striker teammate by giving the ball back for what turned out to be an easy goal. One of Jackson's other three shots on goal was saved by Mads Hermansen but found its way to Fernandez, who scored one himself.

Makes impact off bench Fernandez assisted once to go with two crosses (one accurate) and two chances created in Sunday's 1-1 draw against Arsenal.

Impact After continuing his uninspiring September form at the beginning of October, Fernandez got demoted from Chelsea's starting XI for Romeo Lavia. On Sunday, Fernandez made an offensive contribution during the London derby, albeit with a short pass to a Pedro Neto goal for which the latter should get full credit. Still, Fernandez finally made some form of impact, and he will hope that can turn his fortunes around after the upcoming international break.

Impact Fernandez has started all three games for Chelsea in the defensive midfield. He's logged in nine tackles, six crosses, and created three chances. The Argentine is entering his second full season with Chelsea after joining the team following his World Cup victory in 2022. He's is a versatile player who can play on either side of the midfield while also being strong tackler and good passer who is always looking to create chances for his teammates, resulting in 50 tackles (22 won) while averaging about 56 passes per contests during the 2023/24 campaign.

Records three shots Fernandez had three shots (one on goal), two crosses (one accurate) and two corners in Sunday's 2-0 loss against Manchester City.

Impact Fernandez was decent in Sunday's loss, not blowing anyone away after registering two tackles won, two crosses and three shots. The midfielder looks likely to lead the midfield this season with Conor Gallagher on the way out, so he will see an increased role. That said, he could see a solid boost in fantasy numbers, although that will depend on whether this young Chelsea team can maintain form under a new manager.

Impact Fernandez is set to miss the rest of the season after undergoing successful surgery to rectify a groin issue.

Fernandez was one of the most hyped players coming into the season, and he may not have lived up to the billing but it was still a strong season and one that should cement Fernandez as a crucial piece of the midfield for the foreseeable future. Fernandez is expected to be fully fit before Copa America, where he should be a consistent starters with Argentina.
