Do you think #Chelsea will qualify for next season's Champions League, or clinch silverware with the FA Cup this season, Blues? 🔵 / @Coral

In that event, #Chelsea representatives were told the players should form the huddle in their own half. Chelsea were told by Paul Tierney that he would be standing on the spot in the moments before the game and would hold his ground. [via @TeleFootball]

#Chelsea staff were told at the pre-match meeting between officials, representatives from the two clubs and the Premier League not to form the huddle around the centre circle if Newcastle were about to kick-off. [via @TeleFootball] telegraph.co.uk/football/2026/…

Liam Rosenior on Jorrel Hato: "Jorrel has been top since he has been at the club."

Liam Rosenior on Mamadou Sarr: "It's a lot for all of us. We are expected to achieve in the now. I am so excited for his career, that is why he is here. You have to go through negative experiences sometimes to improve. He is a massive part of our plans."

Liam Rosenior: "In terms of the game on Tuesday, it completely didn't go the way we wanted it to. Me handing out a note is not a reflection of my message not getting across to the players."

Liam Rosenior: "I'm aware if we don't win [things being scrutinised like the notes passing]. It doesn't affect me. It's my job to be aware. Am I surprised? No. The reality is I need to help this club and players to win games of football."

Liam Rosenior on team leaks: "We know. It's not come from any place of malicious intent, to me or the team. We have dealt with the situation."

Liam Rosenior: "I didn't see a lack of effort [vs PSG]. I have a very resilient group [of players] and staff. You can't quantify damage until you are at the end of the season. We are still in a place where we can affect things in a positive way."

Liam Rosenior: "You want to be in the Champions League. It makes everything clearer [like recruitment], not just from a financial point of view. This club deserves to be in the Champions League. That's the target."

Liam Rosenior on Enzo Fernandez: "I had a great conversation with him, not just about his comments but his feelings and how we can improve. He made it really, really clear to me how happy he is at this club. In translation and in the moment, things get misconstrued."

Liam Rosenior: "When you lose games, there is always damage attached to it. I learnt a lot this week. There is a resilience and determination to put this right from me and the team."

Liam Rosenior on Reece James: "We are going to look more after the interational break. It's not serious, but it's something in his hamstring."

Liam Rosenior on Filip Jorgensen: "Filip needed a minor operation. That is a matter of weeks."

Liam Rosenior on Trevoh Chalobah: "It wasn't until later after the game until I saw the image. You are then really, really worried. Fortunately, it's nowhere near as serious as first feared. Still serious. Looking at a period of six weeks."

Filip Jorgensen has had minor surgery on his groin issue in Munich. He is expected to be back after the international break. [via @NizaarKinsella] bbc.co.uk/sport/football…
