Fernandes first goal came on 23 November 2013, in a 1–0 victory over Eintracht Braunschweig. After the match, Fernandes said: "I am totally happy for the young team. These were three very important points, but we have only eleven, that's not much."

2012

After his loan deal at Leicester City ended, he was then sent out for another loan deal, this time he signed for current Serie A frontrunners Udinese until the end of the season to strengthen the squad after some of the players went to play at the African Cup of Nations. So Udinese wanted a player who could acclimatise quickly. On 22 January 2012, Fernandes made his Udinese debut in a 2–1 win over Catania in the Coppa Italia. Having made eleven appearance, Fernandes scored his first goal, on his return, in a 3–1 loss against Roma. Ahead of the 2012–13 season, Fernandes once again not featured for the club's pre-season training.

On 4 July 2012, Fernandes signed a four-year contract with Sporting Clube de Portugal, with a €25 million buy-out clause. After his loan ended at Sion, Fernandes was among with many players to be sold.

On 21 December 2012, it was confirmed that he returned to Sion. He signed a loan until the end of the 2013–14 season with an option to sign him at the end of the loan.

Fernandes went on to make 33 appearance for Saint-Étienne in his first season. His relationship with Christophe Galtier (the manager who signed him from Manchester City) was deemed undesirable and did not fit into the plans for Galtier. Although returning from loan, Galtier allowed Fernandes to leave the club, only for loan.

2007

On 10 October 2007, Fernandes made his Manchester City debut after coming on for Elano in the 89th minute in a 1–0 victory over Birmingham City. He scored his first goal in a 2–0 victory against Newcastle United on 2 January 2008, after coming on as a substitute for Stephen Ireland. It took just 40 seconds for Fernandes and Kelvin Etuhu to combine for the former to finish from the edge of the box. Fernandes scored his second goal in the 1–3 loss to Arsenal at the City of Manchester Stadium. Vedran Ćorluka took advantage of a Gaël Clichy defensive error, who slipped in a pass into the six-yard box for Fernandes to tuck home. The goal was not enough to secure any points for Manchester City, but showed the City fans that he was also capable of having an eye for goal like fellow youth midfielder, Michael Johnson.

Fernandes was captain of the Switzerland U-21 that played against the England U21 side in their Euro 2007 qualifying match.

He made his first full international appearance for Switzerland against the Netherlands on 22 August 2007.
