Graham Potter has endured a tricky start to life as Chelsea manager as a result of the lack of action he’s actually overseen two weeks into the job.
By the time the Blues line up for their next Premier League game away at Crystal Palace on October 1, nearly an entire month will have gone by since their previous league fixture at home to London rivals West Ham.
At the very least, Potter has had some valuable time getting to know his players on the training pitches at Cobham before the Chelsea squad disperse for international duty with their respective national sides.
