Chelsea midfielder Cesc Fabregas has taken to Twitter to deny he is the leader of a dressing room revolt against under-pressure manager Jose Mourinho.
Fabregas, who was dropped for the 3-1 defeat against Liverpool on Saturday, was named by former Guardian columnist The Secret Footballer as the ringleader in a plot against Mourinho.
The Secret Footballer Tweeted that Fabregas is "the leader of a mini-revolt" on Monday night.
The speculation comes hot on the back of BBC journalist Garry Richardson stating on Radio 5 Live that one Chelsea player would "rather lose than win" for the Portuguese, who is under intense pressure after an awful start to the season.
Chelsea have suffered nine losses in 17 games in all competitions this season, but Fabregas backed his boss, who has continually insisted his players are behind him.

Chelsea play Dynamo Kiev in Champions League Group G on Wednesday night and at Stoke in the Premier League.
Mourinho will serve a one-match stadium ban at Stoke unless an appeal is submitted against the sanction imposed on Monday following his half-time dismissal at West Ham on October 24.
Fabregas and the Portuguese were seen sharing a joke at Chelsea training on Wednesday, ahead of their Champions League clash with Dynamo Kiev.
