Calum McFarlane will lead Chelsea from the sideline when they play Manchester City on Sunday.
Callum McFarlane will lead Chelsea against Manchester City on Sunday, following the sack of Enzo Maresca yesterday. McFarlane, who heads Chelsea’s U-21 tea,m will move up to the senior men’s team while the Blues sort out their managerial vacancy.
When asked about the change, he said, ‘It’s been a crazy 24 hours, a whirlwind as you can imagine, but it’s also been really enjoyable and exciting, I can only be positive about it.’
‘We don’t know what the future beyond this game is, but right now, the brief is just to prepare the lads for Man City on Sunday. That’s all I’m focused on. We will go there looking to give a good account of ourselves and trying to obtain a good result. That’s the brief, and that’s what we are working on. Of course, we know will be facing a good team, in good form and led by a great manager. But we have good players too and we will be going into the game being as positive as possible.’
On Cucurella, McFarlane, who led the press conference, said that the Spaniard is back in training but will need to undergo further assessments to determine if he can play.
