Graham Potter has given his squad a day off for transfer deadline day as Chelsea continue to work to add to their squad. The Blues are still in the hunt to capture Enzo Fernandez, while a number of players have been linked with a move away from Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea have had an extended period to prepare for the clash with Fulham on Friday evening having last faced Liverpool on January 22 at Anfield. Potter has had plenty of time to implement his ideas onto the squad and welcome new stars David Datro Fofana, Benoit Badiashile, Joao Felix, Mykhailo Mudryk and Noni Madueke properly.
Bonding was among Potter's priorities for the period and the Chelsea boss recognised there would be few better opportunities.
