Rosenior's Rotation: Chelsea Advance with Deep Squad

0:00On March 7, Chelsea had coach Liam Rosenier stood by his heavy squad rotation after his team scraped into the FA Cup quarterfinals with a win over, 10 man Rexam. He made 9 changes from their 4-1 victory at Aston Villa, the previous match, and it took extra time goals from Alejandro Garnacho and Joao. Pedro to seal it right after Rexam's George Dopson got sent off at the end of normal time. Rosenier averages 5 changes per game, has never used the same back 4 twice in a row, and even switches between goalkeepers Robert Sanchez and Philip Jorgensen, knowing it carries some risk to team rhythm. Key stars like Cole Palmer, Moises Caeteto, and Enzo Fernandez sat out entirely. Reese James stayed on the bench unused while others like Mark. Cucurella and Joao Pedro got sub minutes, and it helped build fitness for players like Romeo Lavia, starting his first match in over 4 months after, a long injury layoff. With a pack schedule including their Champions League clash against Paris Saint-Germain

1:02on Wednesday, Rosenier is trusting his deep squad to handle, the load after their heavy minutes over the last 18 months.
