Chelsea caretaker Calum McFarlane has been asked to join Liam Rosenior's first-team backroom staff, rather than going back to managing their Under 21s. McFarlane, 37, took temporary charge for two games following Enzo Maresca's exit on New Year's Day. Daily Mail Sport can now reveal that Rosenior has personally asked McFarlane to become one of his assistants, after being impressed with how he managed the senior squad over the last week. We can also report Harry Hudson will be promoted to take over Chelsea's Under 21s side moving forward. Chelsea's Under 21s lost 6-2 to Benfica in the Premier League International Cup.
