Chelsea midfielder Cesc Fabregas has swept aside speculations that he is leading a bandwagon of players revolting against Jose Mourinho and insisted that he shares an 'excellent relationship' with the embattled team manager.
The 28-year-old Spaniard had the finger pointed at him after a blog claimed that he was behind organising a dressing room revolt against Mourinho.
Dismissing allegations, Fabregas said that he was extremely happy at Chelsea and have an excellent relationship with the manager, insisting that some outsiders have been trying to destabilise the club, the Mirror reported.
The midfielder also said that defending Premier League champions Chelsea would bounce back from their current position and come good again.
Earlier in the day, Mourinho was given a one-match stadium besides being penalized 40,000 pounds after admitting misconduct charge issued by the Football Association.
Chelsea are languishing in 15th in the Premier League points table. and as a result of the ban, Mourinho will miss Saturday's game at Stoke City.
