Kalou: players not fazed

CHELSEA winger Salomon Kalou insists the players have not been affected by the shock departure of assistant Ray Wilkins and the rumours surrounding coach Carlo Ancelotti’s future.

Kalou came off the bench to inspire Chelsea to a 2-1 victory over Group F whipping boys MSK Zilina at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday night.

On Monday Ancelotti denied rumours that he was on the brink of quitting Chelsea after their 1-0 defeat at Birmingham in the Premier League.
