Pochettino took Fernandez off in the 32nd minute. What happened to him?

Chelsea coach Mauricio Pochettino answered a question about the condition of his team leader Enzo Fernández.

It is reasonable to mention that the Argentine footballer was substituted from the field in the 32nd minute in the quarter-finals of the English League Cup against Newcastle United (1:1, 4:2 on penalties).

According to the Argentine coach, the Argentina national team player himself asked to be replaced.

"Enzo asked to be replaced because he wasn't feeling well before the game. He had stomach problems. He tried, he wanted to play and see if everything would be okay. But it didn't turn out so well, so he had to be replaced ", - Chelsea's official website quotes the team coach as saying.

It is noteworthy that during the match the “blues” lost with a score of 0:1, but the score was equalized by Mikhail Mudryk, who came on as a substitute. Later, the Ukrainian also converted a penalty in the post-match series.
