“It’s massive” – Liam Rosenior reveals “really big thing” for Chelsea next week | OneFootball

Liam Rosenior has claimed it’s “massive” for Chelsea not to have a game in midweek after Friday’s FA Cup tie against Hull City.

Since Rosenior arrived at the start of January the schedule has been relentless with the Blues playing midweek and weekend every week for the past month.

The 41-year-old has managed to pick up some good results and remains unbeaten in the Premier League, but hasn’t had much time to work on the training ground.

Liam Rosenior on having just one game next week

Chelsea travel to Hull City on Friday evening in the FA Cup fourth round, as Rosenior returns to one of his former clubs.

However, having finished in the top eight of the Champions League, the Blues then have a full week off before next Saturday’s game against Burnley at Stamford Bridge.

It will be the first team Rosenior has had a full week to prepare for a game since he arrived, and he described it as “massive.”

“It’s massive. It’s key for the players’ rest, recovery, recuperation, for tactical things to happen on the training pitch in the build-up to the Burnley game,” he told Chelsea’s website.

“It’s a really big thing for us and it’s the first time for not just the players but myself, the staff, to sit back and take stock a little bit of where we are.”

In further good news, Rosenior confirmed Tosin Adarabioyo had returned to training after being sidelined with a hamstring injury, and could make the squad for the trip to Hull.

Filip Jorgensen is still sidelined, but Rosenior admitted the Dane was getting closer, and is working really hard on his rehab.

It means there’s a chance Teddy Sharman-Lowe could make his debut after being recalled from his loan at Bolton in January.
