Chelsea manager Liam Rosenior spoke ahead of Tuesday's clash with Leeds at Stamford Bridge, a match that will mark one month since his debut as the Blues' coach. During this period, the Londoners have recorded seven wins and two defeats, the latter being in the semi-finals of the English League Cup against Arsenal. "Daniel Farke is an exceptional coach. Dominic Calvert-Lewin is really in good form. They play with a lot of energy, press, and are direct in the most positive sense. It will be another very difficult game. I can't talk about what happened in the past when I wasn't here [Chelsea's 1-3 defeat at Elland Road earlier in the season]. I'm focused on tomorrow's game," he said at a press conference, updating the injury report for the London side. "Reece James is recovered. He had some minor issues today, didn't feel well. That's the truth, it's not a conspiracy. I hope he feels well enough to be included in the squad for tomorrow's game. Andrey Santos trained today and is a warrior. He had a swollen ankle after a not-so-good challenge against him, but he's fine for tomorrow. Tosin Adarabioyo looks good to me, he trained today. As for Romeo Lavia, we have a very detailed plan. He returned to training in the last two days, it was great to see him, but we need to ensure that when he returns to play, he is in his best shape. We just need to make sure he is following the right plan in the next 10-14 days," he added. "Our two defeats were against the team that many consider the best in Europe right now. And in both games, we couldn't count on many of our players. My players show exceptional mental resilience to come back from a two-goal deficit against West Ham and a deficit against Napoli. I do not question their mental resilience," concluded the Chelsea manager.
