Graham Potter on Hakim Ziyech:

"He's fine. He's trained the last few days so he'll be involved against Brentford."


"He had a really heavy cold which knocked him about for a few days so the game against Villa came too soon but he's trained well recently so he'll be involved."

Graham Potter on goalkeeping coach Ben Roberts:

"We think so [special], it’s why we brought him with us. He did fantastically at Brighton with Rob and he is a good guy, good around the group, and he works the keepers really well."

"He creates a nice environment for them to push themselves, enjoy their football and be stimulated. He is an important member of the staff."

Fabrizio Romano: “I think Ruben Loftus-Cheek deserves better consideration. He can play in multiple positions and he’s performing well under Graham Potter. The next two to three weeks will be crucial but I believe Loftus-Cheek is underrated.”

All the haters right now 👀

Don Fabrizio rates him 🥶

It is understood Omari Hutchinson has impressed senior players, with Sterling and Azpilicueta among those to offer encouragement and advice.

In one session, it is believed one full international was nutmegged on more than one occasion by the youngster.

Armando Broja hasn't had the game time he desires since signing a new contract and a Chelsea exit could become inevitable. AC Milan have recently held talks over a potential move.

"It's very difficult to answer that [Chelsea rumours]. So that will have to wait until after the World Cup", Leandro Trossard said when asked about Chelsea. 🚨🔵 #CFC

Important: Trossard deal with Brighton expires in 2023, but #BHAFC have an option to extend contract until 2024.

Would you want him at Chelsea?

ℹ️ @ChelseaAnalysis

Chelsea have asked Omari Hutchinson to delay his decision on playing against Cameroon for a bit longer.

Chelsea play Man City in the Carabao Cup on the same night as that friendly, there is a possibility he will be named as one of the substitutes.

God save Havertz

#HalfTime
Its been a first half of two faces. Started poorly but grown into the game. Rlc is a different awesome player. Kepa still our saviour.
