Enzo Fernandez sends one-word message to Chelsea icon Thiago Silva
Today at 05:26 AM
Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernandez has taken to social media to send a message to Thiago Silva after the Brazilian visited their Cobham training ground.
The 40-year-old defender departed the West London club at the end of last season to rejoin Fluminense, following Chelsea’s decision not to extend his contract after a four-year spell at the club.
Fernandez, 23, has been instrumental to Chelsea’s resurgence this campaign, starting 15 of his 20 appearances across all competitions, scoring three goals, and providing eight assists in 1362 minutes of action.
The central midfielder is in the form of his life under new manager Enzo Maresca with ten of his goal contributions coming in his last six games both domestically and on the continent.

Maresca has overseen a remarkable turnaround at Chelsea, propelling the West London club ten places higher in the table compared to their standing at this stage last season under Mauricio Pochettino.
