The international break has thus far been full of both positives and negatives for Graham Potter and Chelsea. Several Blues stars have been dealing with injury issues this season, but the break with their respective national teams has allowed for some to build up more minutes and improve their match sharpness.
Certainly on that list is Ben Chilwell, Conor Gallagher and Christian Pulisic with the trio all playing over the two-week break. Chilwell came in for the suspended Luke Shaw for England's clash with Ukraine while Gallagher enjoyed two successful cameos from the bench including a bustling display in the final five minutes against Italy.
Pulisic was also on the score sheet for the USMNT in their dominating victory over Grenada just a week on from his first start in a Chelsea shirt in just over two months. However, the negatives seem to outweigh the positives especially in regard to fresh fitness concerns.
