Chelsea head coach Carlo Ancelotti has dismissed talk of a major rebuilding job being on the cards at Stamford Bridge this summer.

The media has been awash with talk of plenty of comings and goings after the Blues crashed out of the Champions League at the hands of Internazionale, but Ancelotti is focused only on the present task in hand.

He commented: "We haven't planned. It's not the time now to plan.

"We have to look to the next game. We have 11 matches left until the end of the season and, after them, we'll have a lot of time to speak about the future of this team.

"It's normal that, with a new season, there are new faces. This is normal.

"Really, now, I want to think about this team. I want to put this team in the best position until the end of the season.

"Now is not the right moment, we have other things to think about. We have to look at the Premier League and the FA Cup.

"This is not an easy moment because we are out of the important competition, the Champions League, and we are disappointed about this.

"But this is football and we have to look forward to the next game. We have to have a very good reaction in the next game. Every game will be very important for us.

"We have ten or 11 games before the end of the season and we can still do a fantastic season. We are involved in two important competitions so, after this disappointment, we need to have a good reaction."
