Happy birthday, Teddy Sharman-Lowe. 🔵

The Blues return to action this week as we welcome Port Vale to Stamford Bridge. 🏆

Women's Super League Team of the Week 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿💫

“Chelsea have explored the French market a lot in recent times and they’re big admirers of 22-year old AS Monaco midfielder Lamine Camara’s profile. It’s not clear yet if he’d be a priority, but he’s on their radar, while Liverpool and Newcastle will likely be there too.

Monaco are open to doing business, but unless someone comes in with an offer in the €65–75 million range, which Premier League clubs are capable of paying, they’ll say no. There’s no pressure on them to sell, and they’d rather keep him as his value could rise even further.”

🚨 Garnacho has removed his Instagram profile picture and cleared everything Chelsea from his bio. 👀

🚨 There is still no agreement between Chelsea and Enzo Fernandez on a new deal, and this is why there is tension around his future. Nothing has been decided or started in terms of negotiations or talks. But we have to take into consideration Enzo mentioning Madrid in one more key interview after what he said about the possibility of eventually considering his future in the summer window.

Marc Cucurella:

"You always think about coming back [to Spain]. I'm very happy there [at #Chelsea in London] and so is my family. I'll leave it for a few years from now... [via marca]

"It is clear that if those situations come [@Barcelonaen calling] they are difficult to reject, but I would have to consider it and talk to my family. I'm not thinking about that right now; if it comes, we'll see what decision to make."

"We play a lot of games. We play more and more [minutes nowadays]. Coming to the national team is a pride. The level is very high and everyone here is happy and we feel privileged."

🗣️ Marc Cucurella to The Athletic FC:

😶‍🌫️ On losing 8-2 to @Paris_Saint_Geermain on aggregate in the UEFA Champions League Round of 16:

“Results like that are always hard to take.

“You are fighting and training every day only to realise, we are still a bit away from the top level.

“I understand this is part of the club’s policy, and that they want to take this direction — signing young players and looking to the future. But, for all of us who are still here and want to win big things, moments like this make you feel discouraged.

“We have a good core of players. The foundations are there. But to fight for major trophies such as the Premier League or the Champions League, you need more. Signing young players only might complicate achieving those goals. Against PSG, we lacked players that had gone through situations like that. You need to find the balance between both worlds.”

🤝 On Liam Rosenior and Enzo Maresca:

“Liam is a very good person and has been great at handling the group, the characters.

“He likes to stay close to us and his football ideas are good, but we don’t have the time to train them.

“We train on (playing in) competitive games, because we play every three days and that leaves you with no time to work on the training ground. In this context, it is normal that your plans sometimes don’t work out, and then we go through difficult moments.

“With Enzo Maresca in charge, we were more stable, because we worked together for 18 months. You need a process for every player to understand what we need to do.”

👀 On Maresca’s Chelsea exit:

“We knew what Maresca wanted from us.

“Winning a title like the Club World Cup also helps, strengthens the bond, and you create great relationships during the celebrations. When a manager gives you that confidence and offers you a platform to fight for titles, you’d die for him.

“The moment Maresca left, it had a big impact on us. These are decisions taken by the club. If you asked me, I would not have made this decision. To make a change like that, the best thing is to wait until the end of the season. You would give everyone, the players and the new manager, time to get ready, have a full pre-season.”
