According to Sky Sports, Calum McFarlane, the interim manager of the Blues following Enzo Maresca's resignation, will also bring the team to the field for Wednesday's match against Fulham. He had previously served as interim coach in the 1-1 draw with Manchester City.
The main intrigue at the club is the matter of the head coach. Rosenor is expected to be appointed as Chelsea's permanent head coach until Saturday's match against Charlton in the 3rd round of the FA Cup.
