Chelsea players’ national team performances by the numbers
Romelu Lukaku, Belgium
Lukaku was superb for Belgium. He scored a hat trick, taking 3/4 shots on target. He also finished the three clear cut chances that he got. In addition to the goals, he made two clearances, and won 2/5 aerial duels he contested. In the game against Germany, he scored again, taking 1/3 shots on target, and winning 2/7 aerial duels. He also committed a penalty. Lukaku is on loan at Inter Milan.
Kepa Arrizabalaga, Spain
Arrizabalaga was solid for Spain. Making the two saves that were needed and securing the clean sheet for his country against a Erling Haaland-less Norway. Against Scotland he wasn’t as good, making only one save and allowing two goals. He completed 20/25 passes, and 2/6 long balls. The Blues No. 1 won 2/2 duels and two fouls.
Enzo Fernandez, Argentina
Enzo played 60 minutes against Panama for his country, his passing and tackling were fantastic in that game, as usual. The Argentine International completed 76/81 passes, including 7/9 long balls. He created a chance, blocked three shots and made a whopping 15 passes into the final third. He won 7/11 ground duels and 2/3 aerial duels. He won 4/4 tackles, won two fouls and made five ball recoveries. A truly dominant performance from the Blues midfielder. He had a slightly less dominant performance against Curacao in another friendly. He completed 41/44 passes, and 3/3 long balls. He won 1/3 ground duels and 0/2 tackles, but he scored in the 50 minutes he was on the pitch against Curacao.
