Now fill me in, Scolari!

Hiddink asks for lowdown on Chelsea's rebel players

Guus Hiddink will take the unusual step of consulting Luiz Felipe Scolari to discover the extent of Chelsea’s dressing room disunity before meeting the players in London tomorrow.

There was yet more evidence of unrest yesterday when it emerged that goalkeeping coach Christophe Lollichon faces a club fine for airing his views on the dismissal of Scolari.

The sacked Brazilian boss will no doubt tell new manager Hiddink he was undermined by Didier Drogba, Michael Ballack and Petr Cech who, it has been alleged, delivered a damning verdict on Scolari when they spoke to Roman Abramovich at the training ground last week.

When he was asked if he would speak to Scolari, new manager Hiddink said: ‘I haven’t done it yet but I will call him in the next day or two.’

Yesterday the players who have been implicated by skipper John Terry tried to distance themselves from Scolari’s sacking, with Ballack and Cech insisting they were not responsible. But Cech’s position was undermined by an interview Lollichon gave to a French radio station, when he said the club ‘had to react’ to their faltering position in the Barclays Premier League.
