Avram Grant has denied quotes attributed to him describing his former Chelsea players as 'childish'.
Grant said: "I've only positive things to say about the Chelsea players I worked with. They always show big commitment and professionalism to the club. I wish everybody at Chelsea good luck this season. I have never criticised any of the players of a club I have worked for and never will. If I have something to say, I always say it directly to that person."
