The Premier League season approaches once more, bringing with it the return of press conferences.
Taking centre stage this time is Xabi Alonso, much to the delight of everyone associated with Chelsea. Optimism has resumed at Stamford Bridge and Alonso will be determined to maintain this positive momentum with a win in his first Premier League match as a manager on Monday evening.
The Blues make the brief west London journey to face rivals Fulham at Craven Cottage. Alonso will address reporters this Thursday afternoon and the session promises to be particularly demanding for the Spanish coach.
Enzo Fernandez’s situation is certain to dominate proceedings, with the Chelsea manager expected to respond to speculation regarding his midfielder’s future and potential inclusion in Monday night’s squad. Bobby Vincent is stationed at Chelsea’s Cobham training complex throughout the afternoon to report every word spoken by Alonso.
