Shev: Chelsea must unite

Andrei Shevchenko has called on Chelsea to build some team spirit. It had been suggested that Grant had been brought in as a close link between Shev and Abramovich. Chelsea are on a run of three games without a win in the Premiership.

Shevchenko said, "It's a difficult moment for the club, the players, the team, because of big changes in the house, so it's a moment for the players to stick together and do our best for the club.

"I know him (Grant) as director of football with the team, like every player. He tries now as a manager and every player has the same relationship."
