Overview
- Following Sunday’s 3-0 loss to Manchester City at Stamford Bridge, Liam Rosenior said dropping Enzo Fernández “possibly” hurt the result and he expects the midfielder back for Manchester United this weekend.
- Sky Sports and The Athletic report club briefings that Chelsea plan to keep Rosenior even if they finish outside the top five, though the updates stress that results could yet force a rethink.
- Chelsea sit sixth in the Premier League, four points off fifth with six matches left, and they are only three points clear of 11th-placed Bournemouth according to Sky Sports.
- Discipline has worsened under scrutiny this week, with the Evening Standard noting a league‑high 16 yellow cards for dissent and 10 red cards across competitions this season.
- Sky Sports reports BlueCo posted about £630m in losses last year and roughly £1bn over two years, with a Champions League miss projected to cost at least £100m and make it harder to retain and recruit top players.
