🗣️ Liam Rosenior: "We've had great conversations. I've had conversations with the ownership, with [the sporting] directors about what we want to do in the summer.
And we've also had conversations with certain players in the group as well who are really, really happy with the direction that we're going to go in."
🔵LIAM ROSENIOR PRESS CONFERENCE TODAY. PRE-PORT VALE.
🔵 Liam Rosenior on injury news:
"Reece is getting along really well but not ready yet. Trev is progressing well as well. Levi is back in full training. Estevao and Jamie Gittens are back."
🔵 Liam Rosenior on Enzo Fernandez:
"I spoke with Enzo an hour ago. As a football club, with me as part of the decision, he won't be available for tomorrow's game or Man City next Sunday. A line was crossed in terms of our culture and what we want to build."
🔵 More from Liam Rosenior on Enzo and Cucurella:
"It's not ideal. A lot of this stems from a difficult 10 days. I'll go back to the first game against PSG, it all fell apart in 15 minutes and there was a huge emotional dump that led into the next three games. The comments from Enzo, and Cucu's interview, stems from that. It stems from a good place where they want the club to succeed."
🔵 Liam Rosenior on Enzo Fernandez:
"Enzo, firstly, as a character, a person and a player, I have the utmost respect. He's frustrated because he wants us to be successful. In terms of the decision, it's not all about me, or the sporting directors, the ownership, the players, we are aligned in our decision. The door is not closed on Enzo. It's a sanction. You have to protect the culture and in terms of that, a line was crossed."
🔵 Liam Rosenior on if Enzo Fernandez want to be here:
"Even at Everton, there was no lack of commitment in his performance. In terms of speaking for him, what he wants and his future, it's not for me to speak about."
🔵 Liam Rosenior on Marc Cucurella:
"That's a separate case. Marc is available and will be involved tomorrow."
🔵 Liam Rosenior on Marc Cucurella interview:
"I had a fantastic chat with Marc yesterday, half an hour in my office. I've been here for less than three months, I'm enjoying it. My disappointment in Marc's interview was where it went to, I think he should've spoke to us first about how he was feeling. As a football club, we know we need to improve. We know what we're going to do in the summer to achieve those objectives."
🔵 Liam Rosenior on winning the FA Cup:
"We want to win. It's not about me - it's not about me winning silverware, it's about the club being successful now and in the long term."
🔵 Liam Rosenior on summer transfer plans:
"Bring in players with emotional stability, different characters who can, in difficult moments, understand what is needed to win.'
🔵 Liam Rosenior on creating a culture:
"I want a culture here where we can be open, transparent and challenge each other. To create that, we have to have difficult conversations."
🗣️ Liam Rosenior: "I spoke with Enzo an hour ago. As a football club, with me as part of the decision, he won't be available for tomorrow's game or Manchester City next Sunday. A line was crossed in terms of our culture and what we want to build."

🗣️ Moisés Caicedo: “Yes, Chelsea are a great club. They’ve helped me a lot since I arrived. I want to repay them and stay there as long as I can.”
{AS}
Moisés Caicedo on Chelsea’s struggle under Rosenior:
🗣️ "It’s a bit difficult because we were used to Maresca’s style. The adaptation has taken us a little while, but in the end, it’s just a matter of time to get used to something new. Sometimes you adapt faster, and other times it takes a little longer."

‼️Should Chelsea beat Port Vale this Saturday to reach the FA Cup's semi-finals, the Premier League game away at Brighton scheduled for Sunday April 26 will be brought forward to April 21/22/23.

‼️ Recent comments made by Enzo Fernández have cast doubt over his future in west London. There is a feeling Fernandez is no longer considered 'untouchable', as the likes of Cole Palmer and Moises Caicedo still are.
