Why Graham Potter will try Jose Mourinho tactic with Mason Mount and Conor Gallagher for Chelsea

Mason Mount and Conor Gallagher are at risk of being unavailable for Chelsea in the Champions League round of 16 due to UEFA suspension rules. The Blues duo are both one booking away from picking up three yellow cards in the group stage which accumulates to a one-match suspension.

Though it's not just Mount and Gallagher that Graham Potter must consider ahead of the Blues' clash with Dinamo Zagbreb. Kepa Arrizabalaga, Thiago Silva, Raheem Sterling and Kalidou Koulibaly have all been shown one yellow card throughout the group stage so, unless they're handed their marching orders this evening, they will be available for selection in the of the round of 16 first-leg.

Reece James has also received one booking, but the defender is out injured. According to UEFA regulations, all yellow cards expire after the completion of the quarter-finals and do not carry forward to the semi-finals.
