    “Isn’t so easy” – Graham Potter comments on Mykhailo Mudryk’s lack of game time

    The transfer of Mykhailo Mudryk to Chelsea was one of the biggest talking points of the January transfer window but the Ukrainian has seen very little game time over the last few weeks. 

    Chelsea hijacked the winger from what looked like a certain move to Arsenal with the Blues paying Shakhtar Donetsk a whopping £88.5m for the 22-year-old.

    When the West London club signed the Ukrainian international he was taking part in pre-season with Shakhtar, therefore, his match sharpness was not at 100%. Nevertheless, Potter gave him his debut in a 0-0 draw with Liverpool and although he impressed during that cameo, the winger has not played much lately.

    Ahead of Chelsea’s match with Leicester City this weekend, Graham Potter provided an update on the £88.5m star.

    “He’s a player that we believe in a lot. Mudryk is adapting to a new situation,” Potter said via Fabrizio Romano.

    “When he arrived he was at the start of a pre-season so to come in to hit the Premier League running isn’t so easy. He’ll be in the squad [for Leicester]”.

    Mudryk has played only 33 minutes across Chelsea’s last four matches and going off Potter’s words, more can be expected at the King Power today.

  • Chelsea’s Graham Potter admits he couldn’t watch penalty retake

    Chelsea’s Graham Potter admits he couldn’t watch penalty retake

    The average football fan really can’t appreciate the immense pressure that managers are under these days, and Chelsea boss, Graham Potter, admitted that he couldn’t even bare to watch his side’s re-taken penalty against Borussia Dortmund.

    It’s arguable that there should’ve even been a spot-kick given in the first place, given that the Dortmund defender had his back to the ball when it hit his arm.

    Once Kai Havertz had missed, you had a sense that all the positivity would drain out of the stadium.

    At that point Potter must’ve been wondering whether his luck would ever change, and fortunately for both him and Havertz, the penalty had to be retaken because of players encroaching.

    Perhaps knowing that Chelsea’s entire season rested on that one moment, Potter refused to look, admitting afterwards that the reaction of the crowd would tell him all he needed to know.

    Denis Zakaria could cut short his loan deal at Chelsea in January after failing to make a single appearance since moving to Stamford Bridge from Juventus in the summer.

    The midfielder joined the Premier League club on Deadline Day and is set to spend the season in England on loan.

    However, that could change as Zakaria has grown frustrated over his lack of action and is set for talks about his situation with manager Graham Potter and co-owner Todd Boehly this week, reports the Evening Standard.

    The 25-year-old is yet to play a minute under either Thomas Tuchel or Graham Potter so far this season and is wasting his time sitting on the Blues’ bench – if he even makes it onto it.

    Zakaria is yet to play for Chelsea

    According to the Evening Standard, Chelsea are working on plans to overhaul their midfield next summer, with Jorginho and N’Golo Kante out of contract at the end of the season.

    Zakaria would have hoped to impress enough during his loan spell with an eye on turning the move into something more permanent but that is unlikely at this stage.

    Chelsea are likely to look elsewhere for a new midfield star next summer as Zakaria could potentially be gone by January.
