Chelsea boss Liam Rosenior has been speaking to the media before Saturday's Premier League game against Everton at Hill Dickinson Stadium (17:30 GMT).
Here are the key lines from his news conference:
Rosenior said the ankle injury which forced Trevoh Chalobah off on a stretcher towards the end of Tuesday's Champions League defeat by Paris St-Germain is “nowhere near as serious as we first thought” and the defender will be out for a “period of around six weeks”.
On goalkeeper Filip Jorgensen: "Filip had a scan and needs a minor operation. Not too serious, a matter of weeks."
On captain Reece James: "We will look more after the international break. Not serious but something in his hamstring we will monitor after the international break."
The Blues boss also gave an update on long-term absentee Levi Colwill:" 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. He's still looking at a good while yet."
Rosenior said he "had a great conversation" with Enzo Fernandez after the midfielder cast doubt over his future with comments after Tuesday's defeat: "I would say he made it really clear to me how happy he is here, how much he wants to win for the team and how passionate he is for this football club. He said also the translation and emotion got misconstrued. He is completely committed to this football club."
Rosenior was asked about his team news before the PSG game being leaked early to French media for the second week running: "We know. It's not come from any place of malicious intent, to me or the team. We have dealt with the situation."
On social media posts ridiculing him writing notes and passing them to his players while 8-2 down on aggregate against PSG: "It doesn't bother me. The reality is that I have to help this club win matches. If I don't, if I breathe wrong or sneeze wrong, people will talk about it. It doesn't affect me. It's my job to be aware. Am I surprised? No. Me handing out a note is not a reflection of my message not getting across to the players."
On a difficult week for him and the club: "Every manager goes through difficult weeks. 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."
On turning attention back to the Premier League: "You want to be in the Champions League. It makes everything clearer, not just from a financial point of view. This club deserves to be in the Champions League. That's the target."
