Joao Pedro called up for the Brazilian National Team 🇧🇷💙

Chelsea are set to scrap their centre-circle huddle idea after deciding internally that it has grown into too much of a distraction.

That may now end up being the last time this particular pre-match routine is seen. While Chelsea have not been ordered to stop staging their huddle in the middle of the centre circle, club sources say we can expect it will be performed in their own half from now on.

Liam Rosenior said in his pre-Paris Saint-Germain press conference:

“It's been blown out of proportion, to be honest.

“It's a small, small thing amongst many, many serious things that we need to address, such as a massive game against PSG. The lads have always wanted to show unity and togetherness.

“I think they'll continue to do that. What we don't want to do is antagonise or bring the noise on ourselves and we'll make the decision on where we do that on the pitch tomorrow.”
