Liam Rosenior says Trevoh Chalobah has been ‘brightest spark’ since taking over Chelsea
The defender has played 90 minutes in every Premier League and EFL Cup game since the new boss took over, and he has proven to be a crucial element of his defence.
Rosenior admitted in his pre-match press conference ahead of the game against Wolves that Chalobah has been one of the ‘brightest sparks’ of his time in charge at Stamford Bridge.
He said to Football London: “Trevoh, the way he is playing. I said to the players I will gauge everything on what I see now and not what’s happened before.
“Trevoh has been one of the brightest sparks. He loves this club, he understands what it takes to win and he has made a fantastic impression to us so far.”
It is likely that the England international retains his place in the side for the upcoming game, with the Blues looking to maintain their place in the Champions League spots.
