Graham Potter, like many other Premier League coaches, will be dealing with a smaller squad over the next six weeks as most of Chelsea's squad travel to Qatar for the first winter World Cup.
Although Potter still has a sizeable group still at Cobham, six of his starting lineup at St. James Park this past Saturday are heading to the tournament, and some are likely to play a majority of minutes over the next month with their nations.
Potter confirmed on Friday that Chelsea are heading to Abu Dhabi in December for warm-weather training and a couple of games before the return to competitive action after Christmas.
