Graham Potter says it will not be straightforward for Chelsea to "find solutions" in the upcoming January transfer window – and he insists there are several players in the current first-team squad who can improve during the second half of the campaign.
Potter arrived at Stamford Bridge in September and oversaw an intense run of fixtures prior to the World Cup break. There was a positive start under the English coach which included a nine-game unbeaten run. But a disappointing defeat to Brighton, Potter's former club, coupled with a lengthening injury list meant Chelsea's form nosedived in November.
Chelsea's campaign will restart tomorrow evening (Tuesday) against Bournemouth, and there is much work for the Blues to do if they are to secure Champions League football for next season. Potter's side are currently eighth in the table and nine points behind Tottenham in fourth.
