Xabi Alonso expects Enzo Fernandez to be involved in Chelsea’s Carabao Cup tie against Luton Town on Thursday amid speculation that Manchester City will make a late attempt to sign the midfielder this summer.
The £120m-rated Argentinian has been linked with an exit from Stamford Bridge all summer with City interested, and while Enzo Maresca’s side missed an informal deadline set by the Blues, they are expected to make another bid before the deadline on 1 September.
