Chelsea boss Graham Potter has accepted the Blues are not in a great moment following the 1-0 defeat at Newcastle United on Saturday.

The defeat to Newcastle United means Chelsea have now lost three consecutive games in all competitions.

Potter said: “It’s been tough. We’re not in a great moment. We have to lick our wounds. We have a break now so we have to refocus, reenergise and hopefully get some players back. It’s been an incredibly intense period.

“You have to accept the struggles you’ve had and then move forward. It’s change of scenery, a change of focus and when everyone comes back we can start again.”
