Chelsea head coach Liam Rosenior says there is no conspiracy with captain Reece James, who is now struggling with illness after overcoming his injury problems. Rosenior also confirmed Cole Palmer is fit and available to face Leeds. TIMESTAMPS: 0:00 Intro 0:01 Reece is fit. He is feeling unwell today. It's no conspiracy, it's the truth. Hopefully he'll be well enough for tomorrow. 0:13 First month at Chelsea? It takes time. In terms of what's been really encouraging and pleasing, the players have taken on so much information in not a lot of time. 0:46 Palmer? Any world-class player is important in what we want to achieve. It was great to see him bang in the goals on Saturday and hopefully that form continues. 1:06 Good first-half, bad second-half against Wolves? That's the perfection you're striving for.

We've rotated a lot, which we need to do. Bear in mind the players' long-term schedule, they had no pre-season and they've been magnificent. 6:49 Player welfare? I think so, if I'm being honest. These lads are fantastic professionals - they live for their job which is so important. You want the best product possible. 7:37 Palmer fit? He is available for tomorrow. 7:46 Team news? Andrey trained today. He's a soldier. He had a swolle
