Graham Potter has been handed a huge injury boost ahead of Chelsea's clash with Tottenham — one which could significantly increase the chances of the 47-year-old keeping his job. The Blues boss has been subject to growing pressure over his position at Stamford Bridge, with just one win under his belt after 10 games across all competitions.
The west Londoners head into the tie ten points adrift of fourth-placed Spurs. Chelsea have been in desperate need of a catalyst to rejuvenate their performances and Potter may have finally received the impetus he has been looking for.
N'Golo Kante, who sees his contract with the Blues expire at the end of the season, is yet to feature under the former Brighton head coach after suffering a hamstring injury against Tottenham in August. The 31-year-old has been doing some light training with the rest of the first-team squad recently, football.london understands.
