Conor Gallagher says new boss Graham Potter has told him he has an important first-team role after netting his first-ever Chelsea goal against former club Crystal Palace on Saturday.
Gallagher enjoyed an impressive loan spell at Selhurst Park last season, subsequently leading to high hopes upon returning to Stamford Bridge this summer.
The 22-year-old initially struggled as part of a midfield pivot under Potter's predecessor Thomas Tuchel, however, and was sent off in the August win over Leicester City.
