Enzo Fernandez sends 'missed you' message after Chelsea star returns to the grass following groin surgery

The World Cup-winning Argentina star went under the knife last month to relieve the pain from a niggling hernia problem. The midfielder is expected to fully recover before the start of Copa America 2024, which will be held in the U.S. in June.

On Tuesday, the player came up with an update on his condition as he shared a video on Instagram where he can be seen training with the ball on the grass. In the story, he wrote, "I missed you".

The Argentine FA were reportedly pushing the 23-year-old to go for the surgery as soon as possible so that he gets maximum time to recover before the continental tournament in the summer. The reigning Copa America champions will begin their journey in the competition on June 21 against Canada.

While the Argentine is expected to remain sidelined for the remainder of the season, the Blues will be next seen in action on Saturday in the Premier League as they take on relegation-threatened Nottingham Forest.
