Going into Chelsea's vitally important victory against Leeds United earlier in the month, only Kai Havertz had played more minutes than Mason Mount this season.
Mount has since missed the last four matches with a pelvic injury, that recently ruled him out of the England squad for the ongoing international break despite initially being called up for action by Gareth Southgate. The 24-year-old has been far from his best this term but still remained a crucial part of the first-team squad at Stamford Bridge.
The England international has featured 32 times for Chelsea this season in all competitions, with only Havertz – who has played 36 games – earning more appearances. People have such strong opinions on Mount, especially supporters on social media, but one thing that is clear: every manager he plays under rates him very highly.
