Graham Potter plans to use the international break as an opportunity to recharge – at least for a few days. How realistic that ambition is when the head coach of Chelsea is debatable; there are always high-profile and high-stakes games to prepare and plan for.
"I will [have a break]," Potter said at the weekend after the 2-2 draw against Everton. "I think that’s sensible because there is an intense period coming up; April and May will be heavy for us. So it’s important for me as the leader to gain some freshness and recharge, and to use the time well.
"I’m probably going to close my eyes and sleep for a few hours...or try to! I’ll spend some time with the family and then we’ll see [what there is to do]."
