Chelsea's Enzo Fernandez and Mykhailo Mudryk hit the mountains for their winter break (Photos)

Chelsea's Enzo Fernandez and Mykhailo Mudryk decided to swap the football field for the frosty allure of the mountains during their much-needed winter break.

 While many athletes opt for tropical destinations, the duo sought the thrill of snow-covered landscapes to unwind from their demanding schedule.

Enzo Fernandez, accompanied by his partner Valentina Cervantes, seized the opportunity to capture picturesque moments against a backdrop of bright blue skies contrasting with the snowy terrain. 

Sharing glimpses of their adventure on social media, the couple showcased a blend of athleticism and leisure against the stunning winter panorama.

In a contrasting move, Mudryk, preferring mystery over revelation, shared a snapshot on Instagram without disclosing his snowy retreat's exact location. This subtle approach added an air of intrigue, leaving fans speculating about the hidden gem where Mudryk chose to spend his winter respite.

The breather was courtesy of Mauricio Pochettino, who granted the Chelsea squad a well-deserved three-day holiday following their triumphant clash against west London rivals Fulham. This break allowed the players to recharge and rejuvenate, fostering a sense of camaraderie that transcends the football pitch.

However, the winter escapades are ephemeral, as Chelsea players are slated to resume their duties on Tuesday, January 23. The return marks a critical juncture for the team, as they prepare to face Middlesbrough in the second leg of their league cup semi-final at the iconic Stamford Bridge. The winter retreat not only provided a chance for relaxation but also set the stage for a renewed focus as they gear up for upcoming challenges on the football field.

In the midst of snow-capped peaks, Chelsea's Enzo and Mudryk found solace, creating memories that blend the thrill of adventure with the solidarity of team bonds. As the winter break draws to a close, anticipation builds for the return of these football stars to the Stamford Bridge arena, where their passion for victory is set to ignite once more.
