Chelsea players 'shocked' by Graham Potter decision as club chiefs set sack deadline

Chelsea players were left in shock after failing to make the bench for the Blues' defeat at Tottenham on Sunday.

Goals from Oliver Skipp and Harry Kane ensured Graham Potter's side stretched their winless run to five Premier League matches and therefore remain 10th in the table. It was a result that put even more pressure on Potter, who has been criticised for the nature of his side's losses but he has had some difficult decisions to make.

Due to the nature of Chelsea's now-bloated squad, Potter was forced leave several senior players out of the fold for the trip to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. The ex-Brighton boss said that Trevoh Chalobah, Marc Cucurella, Carney Chukwuemeka and David Datro Fofana were "unfortunate" to be left out.
