Chelsea return to Premier League action this evening as they take on Bournemouth at Stamford Bridge. Graham Potter is in desperate need of a winning start to the second half of the season after the Blues lost their last four fixtures in all competitions prior to the World Cup.
A number of Chelsea stars have slowly reintegrated back into Potter's squad throughout December as the World Cup came to an end just over a week ago. Mateo Kovacic and Hakim Ziyech were the two players to go furthest into the tournament with both featuring in the third place play-off match after Croatia and Morocco were both knocked out in the semi-finals.
Ziyech's future remains uncertain heading into January despite his stock rising significantly following some impressive displays at the World Cup. Potter has a decision to make regarding whether to play most of his returning World Cup stars or to stick with those who trained under the Blues boss throughout the break.
