Graham Potter says a “heavy cold” was behind Mykhailo Mudryk’s substitution at half-time during Chelsea’s draw with west London rivals Fulham on Friday.
The £88.5m signing, who proved so impressive during a brief cameo away at Anfield last month, was replaced by fellow January arrival Noni Madueke at half-time.
Mudryk endured a difficult 45 minutes against Fulham and had the fewest touches of any outfield player (19) - all of which proved ineffective - before coming off.
Despite the vast array of expensive attacking options in the squad, the Blues could not find a way past a well-organised Fulham, who have now taken 4 points off their neighbours this season.
2 - Sean Dyche is just the second manager to beat an opponent starting the day top in his first Premier League game in charge of a club, after Alan Curbishley’s West Ham beat Man Utd in December 2006. Grit.
3 - Mikel Arteta has lost all three of his away matches against Everton in his managerial career. Indeed, Arteta is the first Arsenal manager to lose three consecutive Premier League away games against the Toffees. Stunted.
Chelsea have only won 2 out of their last 11 games.
Clean sheet vs. Crystal Palace
