Of course it did feel a bit strange to be rewarding players who were overseeing such a collapse in the league. The fact that many of them were then photographed chilling on various holidays didn\u2019t do much to help that.<\/p>\n<p>But mentally and physically, it made sense to give them a break. Sadly, it didn\u2019t work. They came back from their time off and lost 3-1 to a Nottingham Forest B team.<\/p>\n<h2>McFarlane takes away break as punishment for latest defeat<\/h2>\n<p>Now, according to Kieran Gill of the Daily Mail, McFarlane has taken the opposite approach. He\u2019s taken <em>away<\/em> a day off, and had the players back at Cobham on Tuesday training as they get ready to take on Liverpool on Saturday.<\/p>\n<p>Another interesting note in there is the claim that players weren\u2019t happy with the lack of days off under Liam Rosenior.<\/p>\n<h2>In other news\u2026<\/h2>\n<p>Chelsea have players on loan they\u2019re not sure what to do with \u2013 chief among them a South American wonderkid.<\/p>\n<p>Enzo Fernandez is the most obvious candidate for Chelsea to sell this summer, according to a new report about their plans.<\/p>\n<p><strong>DOWNLOAD THE OFFICIAL CHELSEA NEWS APP FOR ALL THE LATEST UPDATES \u2013 STRAIGHT TO YOUR PHONE!
