Liam Rosenior's decision to substitute Chelsea trio Cole Palmer, Enzo Fernandez and Joao Pedro during Tuesday's Champions League thrashing against Paris Saint-Germain was roundly booed at Stamford Bridge.
The three players made way for Romeo Lavia, Alejandro Garnacho and Liam Delap with Rosenior's side 2-0 down at the time and 7-2 on aggregate. It comes after Pedro reacted with fury to the Chelsea staff when coming off the pitch at half-time after being denied a penalty.
