""Liam [Delap] is still at home at the moment, as is Jamie Gittens," Rosenior told reporters. "The club doctors are doing everything they can to contain what looks to be a virus because some members of our staff have gone down as well. "We had a meeting today with the players about washing their hands, the basics, which is really important, and hopefully we can contain it. "We have a busy period so we need everyone ready to go and fit and healthy.""
"Rosenior, who is preparing for his first taste of top-flight action, revealed that both Liam Delap and Jamie Gittens have been struck by the illness and are likely to miss out. The former Strasbourg boss has endured a mixed start to life with the Blues, with his third-round win over Charlton in the FA Cup followed up by a 3-2 defeat in the first leg of their EFL Cup semi-final with Arsenal."
