Chelsea midfielder sends message amid Mason Mount and N'Golo Kante injury updates

It's been a frustrating start to life at Chelsea for Denis Zakaria. The Switzerland international is still yet to make his Blues debut after joining on loan from Juventus as the transfer window closed.

There is plenty of competition in the midfield department, with Zakaria up against Mateo Kovacic, Jorginho, Conor Gallagher, N'Golo Kante and Ruben Loftus-Cheek - but the 25-year-old must have expected to have received at least some game time in the 44 days since he joined the club.

Zakaria revealed that a big factor behind him making the move from Juventus was working under Thomas Tuchel, who, of course, was sacked just days after his arrival. Under Graham Potter, Zakaria has been an unused substitute three times and has been left out of the squad twice.
