The 34th round of the 2025/26 Premier League season will take place, with Chelsea traveling to face Brighton. Rossellini stated that Enzo's injury is no longer a problem and he can participate in this crucial match; however, Esteban Willian will be absent, and the striker's condition must be further monitored.
In the last league match, Chelsea suffered a 0-1 defeat to Manchester United at Stamford Bridge after Liam Delap's goal was disallowed for offside. They then failed to score again and conceded another goal. Following their fourth consecutive loss, Chelsea currently sit 6th in the league table with 48 points, placing them in a precarious position in their race for Champions League qualification.
When discussing the team's squad situation, Chelsea manager Rossenier said, "João Pedro's situation will be decided at the last minute. He has already participated in training, and we will make a final judgment on him tomorrow. This is a very positive sign for us because he will be back soon."
In addition, Chelsea midfielder Enzo and striker Estewan Willian were injured during the match against Manchester United.
Rosselli said, "Esteban Willian is definitely out, which is very unfortunate. We are still conducting further examinations on his injury. Enzo is perfectly fine and can play. Apart from that, there are no new injury reports. Although the schedule from now until tomorrow is very tight, everyone is doing well."
Regarding defender Colwell, Rosselli said, "He played 60 minutes for England U21. Although the intensity of the game was not high, playing a full 60 minutes is a good start. We hope he continues to play for the U21 and gradually improves his form, after all, he has experienced a very serious injury."
"His recovery is progressing very smoothly, and he is currently participating in training. He has brought a great positive impact to the team, and his ability can be clearly felt on the training ground."
Furthermore, after their match against Brighton, Chelsea will focus on their FA Cup semi-final against Leeds United. It's worth noting that Leeds United have been in excellent form recently, having defeated Manchester United and Wolves in consecutive Premier League matches.
Rossellini pointed out, "We can't focus on the results of other teams or other games; we must focus on ourselves. That's the right thing to do. It's easy to say these things, but the key is belief and perseverance. The way to achieve this is to train as hard as possible, improve our skills, and turn things around."
"Now is the time to test character, to see people step up for this jersey and fight hard in difficult times. That's what I hope to see tomorrow. I believe in the players, and I believe we can get through this period stronger, but we must first do this step well."
Rosselli added, "Our goal is to go as far as possible, and the only way to do that is to focus on the next game. We must approach the game against Brighton with a winning mentality."
