‘World-class’ Chelsea star set to be dropped against Burnley

‘World-class’ Chelsea player now likely to be on the bench for next game vs Burnley

Reports have claimed that one key Chelsea player is now likely to be named on the bench for the next Premier League game.

According to the Evening Standard, the taxing international break will see one player in particular return to the club in far from ideal circumstance.

Chelsea have a number of players representing them across the world right now as part of the final international break of the season.

As usual, some are being forced to take on tough schedules as far as travel goes, and time differences make it impossible for one player to return at 100%.

When does Enzo Fernandez play for Argentina?
There is always a question surrounding Enzo Fernandez whenever he goes off to represent Argentina about how fit he will be when he returns.

However, the way the fixtures lie this week are potentially worse than ever before.

The World Cup winner is set of represent his nation against Costa Rica in the early hours of Wednesday morning UK time.

Fernandez likely on the bench vs Burnley
Given the fact that Chelsea are back in action on Saturday against Burnley, it makes it very difficult to see a world where Fernandez is named in that starting side.

This is now been backed up by reports that state he is likely to be on the bench when the fixture rolls around.

Considering he was described as ‘world-class’ earlier this season by opponent Mateo Joseph, it is obviously going to be a big miss for Mauricio Pochettino if he is not available.

This will likely leave him looking into his squad for alternatives, and could see him start Conor Gallagher in a deeper role than usual.

His absence in the number 10 position could offer an opportunity for Mykhailo Mudryk to feature in a role that he has starred in during recent appearances, particularly in the FA Cup against Leeds United.
