Fernandez's trouble with players 

According to The Telegraph, Fernandez's candid remarks about his long-term ambitions have not been well-received by his colleagues.

Manager Liam Rosenior is now tasked with navigating a potentially divided squad during a crucial part of the season. 

His ability to repair relationships and reaffirm his commitment could be decisive in determining whether Chelsea's season ends with a trophy or in disarray.

As it stands, the Chelsea midfielder could be on his way out of Stamford Bridge in the summer and has been linked with a move to Madrid.

Currently, Chelsea are in sixth place, and their Champions League qualification hopes are getting slimmer following their poor form. 

However, there is still hope of winning a trophy this season as the team prepares for an FA Cup quarter-final against Port Vale.
