Chelsea's transfer spend defended by Graham Potter with £400m of players out after Mudryk deal

If Joao Felix's red card is proving to be expensive, costing an estimated £1.2m over the three match ban due to his loan fee of around £10m plus wages, then allow some thought for the rest of Todd Boehly's finances.

It's understandable that sympathy won't be rife for a billionaire owner that has pumped the best part of £400m into the club in a little under nine months, but Chelsea's current situation is unprecedented.

Graham Potter is at a stage at Stamford Bridge that he can almost - game to game dependent currently - fill an entire XI of unavailable players. Albeit attack-heavy it would also fare relatively well across the pitch as well, not just a deficit in one position but an equally spread loss.
