Chelsea head coach Liam Rosenior is asked to respond to Enzo Fernandez’s agent slamming the Blues and saying the midfielder’s ban is ‘unfair’. Fernandez missed the 7-0 victory over Port Vale in the FA Cup and won’t feature against Manchester City in the Premier League next Sunday either. TIMESTAMPS: 0:00 Intro 0:25 I was very happy with the application and intensity levels from the team. Some of the goals we scored and the play was good. 0:52 Fernandez’s agent’s comments? It's his opinion. I don't have anything to say on someone else's opinion. Enzo knows what I think of him and it's brilliant to see him here today and supporting the players. 1:17 In the right time, which isn't now, I'm sure the discussion will happen in terms of what's been said between me and Enzo. I had a really good conversation with Enzo today. 2:40 Every manager will tell you when the final whistle comes, that's the relief. It's been a really important week in terms of my staff and the club. When we go through a difficult period like we did, you come out of it stronger. 3:27 There's been a lot of talk about experience, it can make us stronger even if in the moment it's painful. 4:01 Unfortunately Jamie [Gittens] in training yesterday picked up what looks like another hamstring injury. We need to scan him and make sure he's okay. 4:26 Wembley? It's what you dream of. I'm the head coach of a huge club where it's deemed normal for us to be in that situation. 4:55 Palmer captain? It's a natural step for Cole and where he is in his career. Cole is so brave, he'll take the ball on the pitch and if he makes a mistake, he'll take it again. That's what I want. 5:25 You lead in different ways. Cole is a player in big moments who can win you games. Cole and Joao today, they're tracking back and defending. Cole led by example. 6:13 Kavuma-McQueen debut? I'm so happy for Ryan. I had the pleasure of watching him in the FA Youth Cup game maybe six weeks ago. It was a fantastic moment for our academy, a traditionally fantastic academy. @Hayter
