Xabi Alonso:
"Enzo is a Chelsea player. He's a top, top player. He's training really well."
"I am really happy [with the squad]. I think we have made many right choices. We are in a good position."
"We are managing well with the group dynamics. Whenever we need, we have different groups. It's not an issue."
On Danny Welbeck:
"He can be involved [vs Fulham]. He needed a couple of days after not training much because of a little thing. We expect him to be back on Saturday. That's the plan at the moment."
On whether late returners from World Cup need more time:
"We'll see. We'll check. Maybe they need a little bit more time. But they are selectable for the line-up."
On season targets:
"Ambition and to be as high as possible. Let's see where we are in May."
On no European football:
"We will have more time to prepare for games. That is a fact. We need to use the time properly. It's not what we wanted, but it is what it is."
On Reece James:
"It's good that we have players that can play in different positions. I see him in a good mood and good mindset. The club means so much to him. We want to have a good, fresh start with good momentum."
"I like to be close to the players, involved in training. You need to be authentic. To have this close impact with the players is so important. My main goal is to help them. On game day, they are in control. Preparation is where I have my role."
On Chelsea's penalty takers for 2026/27:
"We have our own decisions. Nope, sorry [not saying who they are]. Too early. Hopefully we have a penalty and you see on Monday!"
On Fulham:
"Football is about mentality, it's about competitiveness, it's about going through difficult moments in the game. It's so important. Starting on Monday, it's going to be a nice battle."

Xabi Alonso on Marco Palestra:
"He has this option [to play either side]. He has had a great impact in the changing room. He's a great guy. The freshness he has brought, it's a very great addition. [His profile is] something different, not that common here - but in Italy it is quite common."
On Levi Colwill fitness:
"I would say having a proper pre-season has helped him in taking the right steps in the right moment. We don't want to rush him too quickly because of what he had last year. Now, after pre-season, we are expecting him to play in a good way with the confidence and the fitness to have him at his best level. For me, he is one of the best centre backs in the world."
Thatβs all from the gaffer for now!

Jody Morris on Enzo Fernandez's future:
π£ "I think if I were the manager, if I'm Xabi Alonso, I don't want anyone in the squad that doesn't want to be there. I think that we're at such a pivotal time for the club at the moment, in a bit of a transition, we need to really get as far away from how bad we were last year as possible, and having people around that maybe don't want to be there, I don't think is the best way forward."
