Xabi Alonso is set to face the media for the first time since Chelsea's deadline-day attempt to bring in fresh midfield reinforcements fell through, according to BBC News.
The report gives no details of who Chelsea targeted or why the move collapsed, but Alonso is now expected to address questions over his squad's balance in midfield heading into the coming fixtures.
With no incoming addition to bolster that area before the window shut, attention turns to how the head coach plans to manage his existing options — and whether he still feels Chelsea have enough depth there to compete on multiple fronts this season.
