Mason Mount is expecting to be “informed” of the current state of play at Chelsea when club duty resumes next week.
Such is the level of quality in Thomas Tuchel’s squad, swathes of the playing staff at the club are away on international duty and have had to watch the latest ownership developments at Stamford Bridge from afar.
Boston Celtics owner Stephen Pagliuca has joined Sir Martin Broughton, the Ricketts family and LA Dodgers part-owner Todd Boehly on the shortlist of preferred bidders collated by US merchant bank, Raine Group.
Prospective buyers have been told a sale could be complete by the end of April, with the club, Premier League and UK Government all keen on a quick sale following the sanctions imposed on Roman Abramovich.
Candidates will get an opportunity to speak to key figures at the club, including Marina Granovskaia, chief executive Guy Lawrence and potentially Thomas Tuchel.
Speaking after England’s win over Switzerland at Wembley on Saturday, Mount revealed what he expects to happen upon his return to the club’s Cobham base.
“When I go back to Chelsea next week, I’m sure we will be informed about what’s going on because I haven’t heard anything recently,” he said.
“It can sometimes be hard to focus on football when a lot of things is going on around you.
“But I feel like it has made it a bit easier, that there are so many games to play that we have to focus ourselves on what’s happening on the pitch. Hopefully that can continue. You don’t know what’s going on from day to day, so to focus on football is all we can do.”
