In an attempt to manage the pain, Fernandez was receiving frequent injections and taking medicine; but, in the last few weeks, the problem grew worse, and he decided to have surgery to fix it.

Speaking on his personal Instagram account, Fernandez wrote: “I wanted to let you know that my operation was successful, everything went well, thank God.

“I needed to have this surgery, since I had been experiencing pain for approximately 6 months. It was something I could avoid while constantly treating myself with injections and medications.

“But a few weeks ago the pain began to become more and more intense, without any of this having an effect, and it was worse since I trained and played with discomfort, but I did not want to stop being in the games I had.

“Every time I had to play with the Chelsea shirt, like that of the National Team, I always tried to give my best despite all this but I couldn’t take it anymore.

“Thank you for the messages, the encouragement and your usual expressions of affection. Greetings to everyone, I promise you that I will come back stronger than ever. Take care. EJF. Thank the doctors who took care of me during surgery.”

According to reports, Fernandez was under pressure from the Argentine Football Association to think about surgery in order to get back to full strength in time for this summer’s Copa America.

Following their victory in the last tournament in 2021, Lionel Scaloni‘s team will be attempting to defend their championship on US soil. As a result, he will miss the entirety of the domestic campaign in 2023–2024 and will have plenty of time to heal before heading out on international duty in the upcoming months.
