Chelsea were unable to extend their winning run to four matches heading into the international break as similar problems re-emerged for Graham Potter. The Blues had plenty of the ball but were unable to beat a stubborn Everton side and there was no masive boost as hoped with N'Golo Kante.
The Frenchman was in the squad for the first time since August having missed almost the entirety of the season with injury but wasn't turned to by Potter. His international teammate Wesley Fofana also suffered a setback of his own.
Having returned from his latest setback last month in impressive style, Didier Deschamps picked him up for the national team but that has since been reversed due to a knock he picked up in the second half on Saturday. Fofana will now spend the next two weeks remaining at Cobham.
