Rosenior position increasingly uncertain at Chelsea

While the players have a day off, the club's leadership are at the training ground. It is understood Rosenior's position is being discussed internally as part of a range of options after the loss, which further damaged their season's aim of Champions League qualification.

He said his his team's performance in the defeat by Brighton - a fifth successive league loss without scoring, which is their worst run for 114 years - was both "indefensible" and "unacceptable". Chelsea are seventh in the Premier League, five points adrift of a top-five spot and Champions League qualification, with four matches remaining. They face Leeds in the FA Cup semi-final at Wembley on Sunday at 15:00 BST.
