  • Chelsea set to hold talks with £22m winger
  • Chelsea set for contract talks with £26m star

  • He said: "It's just people trying to get between myself and Michael.



    "The same has happened with Steven Gerrard and Rafa Benitez at Liverpool earlier this year - it's a common theme during the international breaks.



    "For me as manager, I have 14 players away on international duty representing their countries, and for each and every one of them, all I can do is keep my fingers crossed they come back fit and well."
