Il Nuovo Postiglione - Fernandez 'completely committed' to Chelsea insists Rosenior

The Argentina international cast doubt on his future when speaking to a broadcaster moments after Chelsea's 3-0 home defeat by title-holders Paris Saint-Germain, which sealed an 8-2 aggregate loss in the last 16 of the Champions League.

Fernandez has five years to run on the contract he signed when joining for a then-British record fee of £107 million ($143 million) in 2023.

But he hinted to ESPN the final eight Premier League games of the season plus the remainder of Chelsea's FA Cup run could constitute his final appearances for the west London side.

But Chelsea boss Rosenior, who spoke to Fernandez on Thursday, insisted he ha no concerns about the 25-year-old's commitment to the Blues.

"I had a great conversation with Enzo at length this morning at the training ground," said Rosenior. "Not just about the comments, but the future and how much we want to win the coming games.

"I would say he made it really clear to me how happy he is here, how much he wants to win for the team, and how passionate he is for this football club."

Rosenior added: "He said also the translation and emotion got misconstrued. He is completely committed to this football club."

Chelsea, meanwhile, say they have identified the person responsible for leaking Rosenior's team selections ahead of both games against PSG.

"We know (who it was)," said Rosenior. "It's not come from any place of malicious intent, to me or the team. We have dealt with the situation."

Rosenior added Trevoh Chalobah's ankle injury sustained against PSG is not as bad as first feared but is likely to keep the 26-year-old defender out for six weeks.

The hamstring injury Reece James suffered ahead of Tuesday’s game is "not serious", according to Rosenior, but the Chelsea captain will miss Saturday's trip to Everton.
