Enzo Jeremías Fernández (born 17 January 2001) is an Argentine professional footballer who plays as a central midfielder for Defensa y Justicia, on loan from River Plate.[1]
Club career
Fernández joined River Plate in 2006, having spent his embryonic years at Club La Recova.[3][4] After thirteen years spent progressing through the ranks, Fernández was moved into the first-team in January 2019 for a Primera División home fixture with Patronato; though he wouldn't come on as they lost 3–1.[1] His senior debut would arrive fourteen months later in the Copa Libertadores, after the midfielder was substituted on for Santiago Sosa in a defeat in Ecuador against L.D.U. Quito on 4 March 2020.[1] In the weeks prior, he scored once (vs. Libertad) in four games at the 2020 U-20 Copa Libertadores in Paraguay.[1]
In August, Fernández was loaned to fellow top-flight club Defensa y Justicia.[1][5] Hernán Crespo gave him his bow on 18 September in the Libertadores versus Delfín.[1][6]
International career
Fernández represented Argentina's U18s at the 2019 COTIF Tournament in Spain.[3][7]
Personal life
Fernández is named after three-time Copa América winner Enzo Francescoli; due to father Raúl's fascination with the Uruguayan footballer.[4]
