Pat Nevin has backed Jorginho to benefit from the World Cup break with Chelsea likely to be dependent on players that weren't in Qatar to help them through a tough festive period. Although no Premier League matches have been played in the past four weeks there is still a busy schedule to cater for.
Graham Potter has had the chance to recharge and to work with the remaining members of his squad but that has been somewhat affected by injuries to Reece James, Wesley Fofana, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, N'Golo Kante and most recently Armando Broja. Only James and Fofana appear to be back up to speed.
In that sense, the break may not act as a break for many players even if it has opened up the chance for more youth players to stake their claim. Lewis Hall now appears to be a first-team player whilst Omari Hutchinson might not be too far behind him.
