Bayern Munich’s Arjen Robben believes the off-field antics involving both John Terry and Ashley Cole have made life difficult at Chelsea.
The Premier League leaders were beaten 4-2 by Manchester City on Saturday, but the Dutch international, who spent three years at Stamford Bridge, thinks his former team-mates have the strength of mind to overcome this troubled period.
"It is a difficult time. It is not good for the club or football in general but these things happen," Robben told Sky Sports News.
"I think it is going to take a long time for people to forget about it but they have to handle it.
"I think they are strong enough and they have so much quality. Also mentally they are up for it I think."
