KIERAN GILL: Xabi Alonso says he chose a Chelsea squad that had the 'desire to play' and decided he could not select Enzo Fernandez after speaking privately with the Manchester City target. Fernandez was missing from the match-day selection for Thursday's Carabao Cup win over Luton Town. That was despite Alonso insisting the day before that he would use the Argentinian‚ 25. Fernandez's absence immediately sparked speculation that City had opened club-to-club talks surrounding a potential £120million transfer. However‚ Chelsea sources on Thursday night insisted after defeating Luton that they were still awaiting a formal approach.
