Former Chelsea defender Glen Johnson has defended Todd Boehly entering the Chelsea dressing room, recalling that former owner Roman Abramovich used to do the same.
Boehly has regularly visited the players in the dressing room, drawing criticism from some quarters. It is one of a number of areas where the American has faced a backlash, with the Blues struggling on the pitch since their new owner replaced Abramovich in 2022.
“Todd comes to the changing room in every game," goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga has said. "He had different chats with us after different games. I am not going to say what he said. It is normal when he came into the changing room.” And, despite questions over the behaviour, Johnson has sympathised with the owner.
