Chelsea completed an undefeated March heading into the international break but by not claiming three points against Everton, the Blues did lose some momentum. Graham Potter will now take a short break before looking to galvanise his side ahead of a hectic April and testing end to the season.
The two-week break in the domestic calendar will allow Chelsea some respite and the opportunity to see a number of injured stars hopefully return in time for their next fixture. The likes of Cesar Azpilicueta, Mason Mount, Raheem Sterling, Wesley Fofana and Edouard Mendy all have time to return in time for the clash against Aston Villa.
A clear schedule has also been set out for N'Golo Kante to continue his build to full fitness with the potential for an internal friendly to assist this. With matches against Real Madrid coming quickly that could decide the success of Chelsea's season, the Frenchman's presence will be a much-needed boost.
