Chelsea interim manager Calum McFarlane has stated that leaks of team information must cease. Speaking before the FA Cup semi-final at Wembley Stadium, the coach insisted the club had already addressed the matter internally. The issue followed reports that several starting line-ups had appeared on social media platforms hours before official announcements, per The Guardian.
McFarlane took charge of the men's senior team earlier this month following the departure of the previous coaching staff. He confirmed that investigations into the source of the disclosures are ongoing to ensure competitive confidentiality. The manager noted that such distractions do not help preparation for major fixtures, according to Sky Sports.
Leeds United face Chelsea tomorrow for a place in the final. Despite the off-field concerns, McFarlane reported a fully fit squad for the encounter. He praised the professional attitude of the players during recent training sessions at Cobham. The interim boss remains focused on securing a trophy before the conclusion of the current campaign.
