Chelsea midfielder, Enzo Fernandez, has returned to full training and is available for selection for Saturday’s Premier League home match against Manchester United after being dropped for disciplinary reasons, manager Liam Rosenior said yesterday.

The 25-year-old Argentina World Cup winner was omitted from the squad for the a 7-0 win over League One Port Vale in the FA Cup quarter-finals and last week’s 3-0 Premier League defeat by second-placed Manchester City at Stamford Bridge.

Fernandez, who had been wearing the captain’s armband in the absence of ⁠the injured Reece James, had previously said he would assess his future after the World Cup and expressed a desire to live in Madrid, comments for which he later apologised.

“Enzo has been with the group and has been training very, very well,” Rosenior told reporters yesterday. “So, it’s business as usual in terms of selection for the game.
