Premier League: Enzo Fernandez named Chelsea vice-captain, according to The Times

The controversy over racist chants in the summer election, it seems, has not damaged Enzo Fernandez’s credibility at Chelsea. according to Times, the Argentinian was named vice-captain of the club, behind Reece James, with Enzo Maresca, who arrived on the bench this summer. The 23-year-old midfielder had already worn the armband in friendlies this summer, the technician believing his influence in the dressing room was significant. Arriving at Chelsea a year and a half ago for €120 million paid to Benfica, Fernandez was Chelsea’s sixth most used player last season, despite injuries at the end of the season.
