Graham Potter has said that Denis Zakaria's Chelsea opportunity could be soon but there is no shortage of competition in his area of the pitch. The Blues boss has been impressed with the loanee's attitude on the training pitch and understands his frustrations.
The Swiss international is yet to play a minute for the Blues having appeared twice for Juventus before his deadline day loan. The Chelsea boss said in his press conference on Tuesday ahead of the Blues' clash against Brentford that there had been no decision made on Zakaria's future and whether he would head back to Turin in January.
Potter has spoken to Zakaria about the situation but for the moment it appears the likes of Mason Mount, Conor Gallagher, Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Jorginho are cemented ahead of him in the pecking order. With eight matches in the next 25 days, that won't necessarily stop him from playing however.
