Graham Potter was quietly impressed with Enzo Fernandez's debut and revealed Mykaylo Mudryk was taken off at half-time as a precaution.
After a month where Chelsea ’s off-field activity was rarely out of the headlines, this was the first chance for Graham Potter’s richly-assembled squad to make some on it. But despite the presence of Britain’s most expensive ever player Fernandez, and £88m-man Mudryk, the Blues failed to break down Fulham.
The Cottagers did far more than just park the bus at Stamford Bridge as well, registering four shots on target to Chelsea’s one. But it was probably the hosts that had the better chances, with Kai Havertz hitting the post and David Datro Fofana seeing a shot cleared off the line.
