Chelsea are set to face off with Aston Villa in Saturday’s late Premier League kick-off.
The Blues head into the game having improved their form somewhat.
However, they are still 10th in the league and four points off the European places with most of the sides above them having games in hand.
Ahead of the match, Graham Potter has been discussing Chelsea’s transfer business. The west Londoners spent over £600m in the previous two transfer windows but Potter is not happy with the size of the squad.
While Potter has enjoyed working with such a large group, on Friday, he conceded that it is not an optimal size of squad. The former Brighton boss added that players will have to depart and that was normal in football.
He said: “That’s the challenge that we have. It is a big squad, a deep squad, a squad with a lot, a lot of players. It has been a challenge to manage them but it has not been a negative challenge from my perspective. They have been amazing, I would say, with the situation and how professional, how together they’ve been, how supportive they have been of each other. That’s something that I can only be positive about.
