Liam Rosenior has confirmed that Chelsea have discovered the person who's been leaking their team news. Each of the Blues' starting line-ups before facing Paris Saint-Germain over two legs in the Champions League were leaked hours before kick-off.
Wesley Fofana's absence for the second leg was reported by multiple French outlets in the lead-up to the Tuesday's convincing 3-0 loss. The Blues were ultimately thrashed 8-2 on aggregate, as PSG booked a quarter-final tie against Liverpool.
Prior to the return leg, Rosenior confirmed that Chelsea had opened an investigation into the leak and it's now finished. Ahead of Saturday's visit to Everton, the Blues boss provided an update, suggesting that the mole wasn't intending to do any harm.
"We know (who it was)," Rosenior confirmed. "It's not come from any place of malicious intent to me or the team. We've dealt with the situation."
Also in Thursday's press conference, Rosenior revealed that defender Trevoh Chalobah will out for six weeks, joining captain Reece James on the sidelines. Chalobah, 26, played the full game against PSG but picked up an injury.
"It wasn't until later after the game that I saw the image, and then you're really worried," Rosenior admitted. "Fortunately, it's nowhere near as serious as we first feared. We're looking at maybe six weeks."
On James' injury, the Chelsea manager said: "We're going to look more at Reece more after the international break. It's not serious but there's something in his hamstring we're going to look at it after the break."

Meanwhile, goalkeeper Filip Jorgensen has had a scan on a groin problem while centre-back Levi Colwill is making progress. "With an ACL, he's hitting all of the benchmarks he needs to but we need to make sure he keeps getting past certain levels," Rosenior explained. "He's still looking at a good while yet."
After last weekend's 1-0 loss at home to Newcastle, Chelsea find themselves sixth in the Premier League table, one point behind Liverpool, who occupy what's expected to be fifth and final Champions League spot. Everton are only five points behind Rosenior's side, setting up the clash at Hill Dickinson Stadium nicely.
"Every manager goes through difficult weeks," Rosenior added. "I've had challenging periods before. I've lost games in many jobs, like all managers have done. We need to find a way to fight at Everton and come through a difficult period."
