Chelsea players have been given two days off from training on Sunday and Monday following their 1-0 defeat to Southampton, a source has told football.london.
The Blues were beaten by the Saints on Saturday afternoon as the pressure continues to mount on Graham Potter at Stamford Bridge. The 47-year-old has seen his side win just one from their last 10 matches in all competitions and he is coming under increasing pressure with a lot of Chelsea supporters calling for him to be sacked from his role.
However, Potter is adamant he remains the right man to lead Chelsea's long-term project. The Blues head coach has also accepted that the criticism is fair and he is open to receiving it if results don't go his team's way.
