What happened. Chelsea have told Fernandez's camp he is not for sale after no formal offer arrived before the 14 August deadline, but Manchester City remain keen.

• Alonso says Fernandez has a 'really good attitude' and is ready for Monday's opener.
• Chelsea agreed in May that Fernandez could leave for £120m, but deadline passed.
• City believe the London club still want to do a deal.

“Enzo is a Chelsea player. We are happy with him and he's getting ready for Monday.”

— Xabi Alonso

Fernandez's future stays uncertain as the transfer window closes on 1 September, with City monitoring.
