Potter-ball emerges
There has been very little time for Graham Potter to undertake tactical work with his Chelsea players on the training pitches at Cobham. The Blues' relentless fixture schedule ahead of the World Cup has resulted in the majority of sessions being focused on pre-match preparation or recovery.

The hope is they will be repeated in the matches ahead – and finished off far more clinically.
