While much of the nation has wound down to enjoy the festive season and a break from work, Chelsea are only just truly getting back into gear. The Blues are set to face Bournemouth as the Premier League kick starts into action and head back into another intense schedule of football.
Graham Potter has managed to find some time off since Chelsea's last game, a one-nil defeat that consigned the Blues to three losses in a row and compounded a difficult run after an initial nine-match unbeaten streak from the Blues boss. The 47-year-old was left with plenty to stew over as his stars took off for the World Cup, but did manage to find some time off of his own, sort of.
The Blues boss was thankful to have some time away as he travelled from LA to San Francisco along with his wife and returned feeling healthy. Even on another continent, the work did not stop entirely however as Potter met up with Chelsea co-owner Behdad Eghbali.
