Chelsea manager Liam Rosenior stated Monday he has "100%" backing from the club's owners, acknowledging responsibility for a damaging run of four consecutive Premier League defeats. A recent 1-0 home loss to Manchester United has left Chelsea sixth in the standings with five matches remaining, severely impacting their Champions League qualification hopes.
The team's scoring struggles have been a major issue, failing to find the net in their last four league losses - their longest such drought since 1912. Chelsea faces ninth-placed Brighton & Hove Albion next.
Rosenior, appointed in January on a contract until 2032, is the club's fourth permanent manager since Todd Boehly's 2022 takeover. He emphasized the need for immediate wins, stating "We have to win. That is what this club demands." He admitted recent performances have not been good enough and accept that responsibility rests with him.
Regarding injuries, Estevao is confirmed out for the Brighton match, while Joao Pedro will be a late decision.
