Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernandez earned widespread praise for his display in Argentina’s 1-0 victory over Uruguay in the latest World Cup qualifier.

The 23-year-old was a key part of Lionel Scaloni’s midfield, helping La Albiceleste dominate proceedings against a tough Uruguayan side. After the game, Argentine media singled him out as one of the standout performers.

Renowned sports outlet TyC Sports wrote:

“Like the entire team, he [Enzo] had a great second half. He searched for his goal, but above all, he took control of the game alongside Alexis [Mac Allister] and [Leandro] Paredes. Tireless.”

The Chelsea star’s relentless work rate and ability to dictate play in midfield were crucial as Argentina secured another important victory on the road to the 2026 World Cup. His latest international display will be a huge boost for both his confidence and Chelsea, with Enzo now returning to club duty in top form.
