“For sure, there’s no doubt I stay until the end of the season,” he said in his post-match conference.

Last week, Chelsea’s owner Roman Abramovich was sanctioned by the UK government for his close links to Russian president Vladimir Putin. Consequently Chelsea is restricted in selling tickets and merchandise.
They can’t buy new players at the moment and are operating with a special license from the government.
Chelsea have been consistent in achieving results as they’ve won four games in a row across all competitions.
“We have to wait day by day because everything can change but the situation is clear: the club is for sale and hopefully it will go through to sort things out and give us some perspective.
“Day by day is a good way to live your life and now we’re forced to do it, because there are circumstances we can’t influence. In some ways, that’s not so nice, but it gives you the freedom to focus on the things you can influence, which is our performances, and show the spirit.

“We cannot influence the situation and we are also not responsible for the situation,” he said. “But at some point it’s our responsibility – because we are in the spotlight and we have these games – every employee of Chelsea,” he added.
