Pochettino reveals this player will start vs Bournemouth

Chelsea will return to action on Sunday when they face Bournemouth ahead of their first game after the first international break this season.

Ahead of the match, the Blues boss Mauricio Pochettino has claimed that midfielder Enzo Fernandez will be available for selection against Bournemouth.

Pochettino in his pre-match press conference said that the 22-year-old is fit despite returning late from international duty this week.

Fernandez has been active every of the Blues games this season and his absence would be a blow for the Blues.

Pochettino in his statement also spoke on Moises Caicedo who was on international duty with Ecuador.

He said: “Today, he’s good. He’s in a good mood, has a good energy. He scored against Bolivia. Yes, I think he’s in a very good mood and I think he is ready.”

“Moises, we need to assess him because he was a little bit later than Enzo, but hopefully yes, he will be fit to play.”

Any game where Fernandez is not fit to feature is going to be a real blow for the Blues, so it is crucial that he is as fit for as long as possible.
