Liam Rosenior refused to be drawn on comments made by Enzo Fernandez hinting he could quit Chelsea at the end of the season following their chastening exit from the Champions League .
The Blues were thrashed 8-2 by the reigning European champions, Paris Saint-Germain , over two legs in the Round of 16. Their fate was sealed with a disappointing 3-0 home loss on Tuesday night, with players booed by Chelsea supporters as they left the pitch.
A humbling night then got even worse from when Fernandez appeared to open the door to a blockbuster summer transfer .
The midfielder was asked about his future immediately after the match and implied that he was considering his future at Stamford Bridge. “I don’t know,” he replied. “There are eight games left and then the FA Cup . Then there's the World Cup, and then we’ll see.”
Rosenior was then subsequently pressed about the Argentine's comments - and they seemed to take the former Strasbourg boss by surprise.
“Firstly, I haven't seen that,” said Rosenior of Fernandez’s comments. “It's hard for me to speak on speculation after a game and I need to focus right now on the most important things, which is making sure we get a result against Everton on Saturday.”
Chelsea fans made their feelings clear at both half-time and full-time of the defeat, with an early goal from Kvicha Kvaratskhelia effectively killing the tie after just six minutes.

A stream of supporters left after Senny Mayulu scored PSG's third on the hour mark. But Rosenior insisted he had no concerns over the atmosphere inside Stamford Bridge.
“No, I think it's two-way. This is a fantastic football club where the fans want success instantly and that's rightfully so for the size of the club.
“I understand because of the aggregate scoreline in the tie, why fans are frustrated. They want us to win. So, I completely get it and I understood that before I came in.
“I also want to make them happy and give them the nights they deserve. Not just me, but us as a group, as a team. That was a really, really difficult one to take because of the manner in which we went out this evening.”
