Graham Potter explains double Chelsea team selection decision v AC Milan amid Rafael Leao threat

Graham Potter has explained his decision to start both Trevoh Chalobah and Jorginho in Chelsea's Champions League group stage clash with AC Milan. Neither of the Blues duo began the reverse fixture when the two side's met at Stamford Bridge last week.

Though they did eventually feature, making cameos off the bench as the west London waltzed to a 3-0 victory. Chalobah was brought on to replace Wesley Fofana in the opening half an hour after sustaining a knee sprain.

Mateo Kovacic made way for Jorginho in the second-half but, by then, Chelsea had already scored their third and final goal of the evening in what was a historic night. Having impressed Potter, the pair have been granted starts against Milan as the Blues boss looks to continue the club's great vein of form.
