Graham Potter admits Chelsea's inflated squad will cause dressing room frustration

Graham Potter has admitted Chelsea's bloated squad will frustrate some of his players as only a third of his 33-man contingent can start in each game.

The Blues were by far the busiest Premier League club in the January transfer window, as they made eight new additions, including Enzo Fernandez for a British record fee. Potter's men have made a stuttering start to the season and need somewhat of a miracle to finish inside the top four places - but the Chelsea board have backed their boss.

Mykhaylo Mudryk was set to be the most expensive arrival in the winter market after he made the £87million move from Shakhtar Donetsk. But Todd Boehly somehow managed to trump that amount by splashing over £100m on talented Argentina midfielder Fernandez, who starred at the World Cup in Qatar.
