Chelsea’s difficult season has taken another turn, and the focus has now shifted firmly onto Liam Rosenior and his position at the club.
The Blues suffered a damaging 3-0 defeat to Brighton, which has only deepened concerns around their performances.
That result dealt a major blow to their hopes of securing Champions League qualification. However, the problems appear to go beyond results on the pitch.
According to BBC Sport, there is growing unrest inside the Chelsea dressing room.
Several players have reportedly started to lose faith in Liam Rosenior, which has placed the manager under serious pressure.
That situation has developed over recent weeks, with frustrations building over certain decisions. One key issue has been Rosenior’s handling of the goalkeeping position.
The Chelsea boss’ decision to rotate between Robert Sanchez and Filip Jorgensen has not gone down well within the squad.
At the same time, his reluctance to give opportunities to players like Josh Acheampong has also caused concern.
Those decisions have contributed to a wider issue inside the camp. Reports suggest the atmosphere within the leadership group has become worrying.
Senior players have often remained quiet during team meetings, even when asked to share their opinions.
That silence has raised further questions about unity within the squad. Meanwhile, tensions have also surfaced publicly.
Enzo Fernandez criticised the club’s decision to sack Enzo Maresca earlier in the season, a move that came after a breakdown in relations in January.
Marc Cucurella also added to the pressure by stating that Chelsea made the wrong call by dismissing the Italian manager.
All of this has left Liam Rosenior in a difficult position. The manager is now fighting to keep control of a dressing room that appears increasingly divided.
With results struggling and confidence dropping, Chelsea must now decide how to handle a growing situation around Liam Rosenior.
