Graham Potter is welcoming players back to his Chelsea squad as the burden starts to ease on the manager. Ahead of a vital set of weeks that includes a London derby against Tottenham and two legs of Champions League football with Borussia Dortmund the Blues are getting a boost.
Not only did Reece James, Ben Chilwell and Raheem Sterling all return to the pitch against Fulham, there have been more players coming back throughout the week. Wesley Fofana continues to train back out on the grass whilst Denis Zakaria and Mateo Kovacic were both back in training.
It is the midfield that poses the most questions for Potter despite signing Enzo Fernandez. The Argentine looked classy on his debut but failed to get much support from those around him with Conor Gallagher and Mason Mount often too advanced to get the ball.
