Enzo Fernandez had been keen on representing Argentina at the Olympics, but that may not be a possibility.

Chelsea have decided to withdraw Enzo Fernandez from Argentina’s squad for the upcoming Olympic Games.

The club’s decision ensures he will participate in the pre-season and be available from the start of the next campaign.

Unlike certain international tournaments, clubs are not obligated to release players for the Olympics, so Chelsea faces no sanctions for this choice.

Fernandez had expressed a desire to play in the Olympics but will comply with the club’s decision.
