Liam Rosenior has been at Chelsea for just over three months

Liam Rosenior's position as Chelsea head coach is becoming increasingly uncertain following Tuesday's damaging 3-0 defeat by Brighton.

Last week, Rosenior received public and private backing from the club's hierarchy but on Wednesday none was forthcoming from BBC sources.

In addition, a number of players are understood to be unconvinced by the 41-year-old, who moved to Chelsea from their French partner club Strasbourg just over three months ago.

The Brighton defeat was a fifth successive league loss without scoring, their worst run for 114 years.
