Boos and cheers for Enzo Fernandez in Chelsea pre-season friendly win

LONDON: (Aug 16) Enzo Fernandez, who helped Argentina knock England out of the World Cup last month, was given a mixed reception by Chelsea fans after coming on as a substitute in Saturday’s pre-season friendly at home to Real Sociedad.

Fernandez has also been linked by media reports with a transfer to Premier League rival Manchester City.

Some Chelsea supporters booed the 25-year-old midfield player when he replaced captain Reece James in the 62nd minute at Stamford Bridge, although other fans gave their backing to the Argentina star.
