00:00 I think the first thing I want to say is that Sam has our full support.

00:06 She knows that. Yes, it's a difficult time for her.

00:11 Of course, I can't comment. You already know that.

00:15 What I can say is that I know she's pleaded not guilty.

00:19 And I don't want to do anything to jeopardise anything for Sam by speaking about it.

00:27 For that reason, I'm sure you can appreciate that's all I'm going to say on the matter.

00:33 But she has our full support and she knows that.

00:36 It's really important I get that across. It's something I really, really value.

00:40 There's difficult moments, there's tough times.

00:44 That's what my role is in this football club, is to make sure I look after our people.

00:51 I want to be clear that Sam will be fully supported by me and everybody else at Chelsea.
