Overview
- Under-21 coach Calum McFarlane will take charge for Wednesday’s trip to Fulham, extending his interim spell after a 1-1 draw at Manchester City.
- Sky Sports reports that Chelsea held positive talks with Strasbourg’s Liam Rosenior on Monday and those discussions are ongoing.
- Rosenior traveled to London for talks and then returned to Strasbourg to manage the handover process, according to multiple reports.
- BlueCo wants Strasbourg to have a new head coach in place before any Chelsea announcement on Rosenior, a sequencing that is contributing to the short delay.
- There is an internal expectation reported by Sky Sports that Rosenior could be appointed in time for Saturday’s FA Cup tie at Charlton, though no confirmation has been made.
