Rosenior urges Chelsea to stay calm in Champions League race

Chelsea manager Liam Rosenior has urged his players to stay calm and consistent as the Blues fight for a place in next season's Champions League.

With Chelsea currently fifth in the Premier League, level on points with Liverpool and three points behind Manchester United, Rosenior emphasized the importance of maintaining composure during the crucial run-in. "We need to stay calm and consistent in our process," he said ahead of Sunday's match against Arsenal. The Blues have been boosted by the availability of Reece James for the Arsenal game, though they remain without Marc Cucurella, Estevao, and suspended Wesley Fofana.

Chelsea faces two critical matches against Arsenal and Aston Villa this week, which could significantly impact their season. Rosenior, who is unbeaten in his six league games, stressed that qualification for the Champions League is essential for the club. "This club should be in the Champions League, this club is a Champions League club," he stated.
