Chelsea winger Florent Malouda admitted the sacking of assistant coach Ray Wilkins has destabilised the Stamford Bridge dressing room.
Chelsea have won once in six English Premier League matches since Wilkins was axed last month, and Malouda acknowledged the Englishman's absence was hitting the players hard.
"Ray was close to the players and in training he was involved in the animation of the sessions," Malouda told the BBC.
