Chelsea's PSG team news leaked for second week in a row

Chelsea manager Liam Rosenior frustrated as key lineup details emerge ahead of crucial Champions League match

Mar. 17, 2026 at 1:20pm

For the second consecutive week, details about Chelsea's starting lineup for their Champions League match against Paris Saint-Germain have been leaked to the French media. This comes as a major frustration for Chelsea manager Liam Rosenior, who is already facing the challenge of overturning a 5-2 deficit from the first leg.

Why it matters

Leaking team news gives Chelsea's opponents, PSG, an unfair advantage as they can better prepare their tactics and strategy. This undermines Chelsea's chances of staging a comeback in the crucial second leg match. Maintaining secrecy around team selection is a key part of a manager's preparation, so these leaks are a significant setback for Rosenior and his players.

The details

According to reports from French outlets L'Equipe and PSG insider Marc Mechenoua, Chelsea defender Wesley Fofana is expected to miss the match due to muscle pain, while Jorrel Hato and Trevoh Chalobah are set to start as the center-back pairing. This follows last week's leak of Chelsea's entire starting XI for the first leg.

  • The first leg between Chelsea and PSG took place on March 8, 2026.
  • The second leg is scheduled for March 17, 2026.
