Rosenior just has to admit that Penders is a better choice than Sanchez or Jorgensen.The majority of supporters at Stamford Bridge have already done that.

But the manager will have to make a huge call once the summer transfer window opens. 🦁 Don’t Miss a Beat: Your Chelsea Insider Access Get the full story from Stamford Bridge and Cobham with our dedicated expert hubs: Updated 24/7 with expert analysis from West London.
