**Chelsea Insider Leaks Team News Again, Rosenior Faces Pressure Ahead of PSG Clash**
As Chelsea prepares to host Paris Saint-Gergermain at Stamford Bridge in the Champions League round of 16 second leg, the Blues' head coach, Liam Rosenior, is facing another challenge: a team selection leak for the second week in a row.
Rosenior, who has had a promising start to his tenure, has won 10 of his 17 matches in charge, but recent defeats to Newcastle United and Paris Saint-Germain have increased the pressure on him. This is a familiar story for Chelsea bosses, and Rosenior is no exception.
Before the first leg in Paris, Rosenior's team selection became public knowledge in French media. He downplayed the incident, saying it was "disappointing but it won't happen again." Unfortunately, the same thing has happened again, with French reports claiming knowledge of the Blues' line-up for the second leg.
According to Onze Mondial, Rosenior has dropped centre-half Wesley Fofana from his starting XI. The Frenchman has started seven of Chelsea's last eight matches, but is reportedly suffering from discomfort and will take his place on the bench.
Jorrel Hato is expected to replace Fofana, alongside Trevoh Chalobah. Malo Gusto is also a doubt for selection.
Chelsea has a mountain to climb if they are to progress in the Champions League, having lost the first leg tie 5-2. The pressure is mounting on Rosenior, and this team selection leak will only add to the tension.
It remains to be seen how Rosenior will respond to this latest setback, but one thing is clear: Chelsea needs a win to stay in the competition. The question is, will Rosenior be able to overcome the distractions and get the result he needs? Only time will tell.
