Chelsea Midfielder Enzo Fernandez will miss the FA cup quarterfinal round against Leicester due to suspension.
The world cup winner will not take part in Chelsea’s FA Cup quarterfinal round against Leicester City, for picking up his second yellow card of the competition in the match against Leeds united.
The Blues hosted Leeds at Stamford Bridge, they got off to a terrible start when Mateo Joseph gave the visitors an early lead and Moises Caicedo was caught on the edge of his own box.
Yet Chelsea came back strong, with Nicolas Jackson tying the score before Mykhailo Mudryk’s brilliant finish to set up halftime gave Chelsea the lead.
Following halftime, Joseph tied the score once more with his second of the game, and Leeds appeared to have the better chance of winning, but in the ninetieth minute, Conor Gallagher scored to put the Blues through.
Pochettino’s team will now play Leicester in the FA Cup last eight in March, with a trip to Wembley up for grabs.
Chelsea defeated Aston Villa 3-0 in the fourth round replay, and the midfield player received an unnecessary yellow card as well for removing his shirt following a fantastic free kick.
Pochettino will be upset about losing a vital midfield player to suspension, as the Blues are already without several first-team players.
Enzo Fernandez finally speaks about the rumors linking him to Barcelona.
