If it’s meant to be, it’s meant to be but Chelsea is my main priority at the moment." "There are a lot of games coming up and I want to play in every single game and we will see the team win. "It’s always a kid’s dream to be called up but my focus is to give my all for the club and then see what happens," Chalobah said. "We are looking at it as a goal for us defenders and as a team," said Chalobah. That’s the most important thing for me. But we have to show the other side of the game and that’s suffering. On Saturday, that clean sheet record will be put to the test as Chelsea take on Manchester United at Stamford Bridge. In the six games Chalobah has been involved in this season, just one goal has been conceded. The important thing was the Blues came through difficult moments in the match – and that is something Chalobah says has been instilled into the players by Potter since he arrived last month to replace Thomas Tuchel. That’s the most important thing, suffering," Chalobah explained. "It's the mentality the manager has brought in: suffering.

Chelsea news: Cristiano Ronaldo storming off during an objectively positive night for Erik ten Haag proves why Todd Boehly should steer well clear.

It is not the first disciplinary issue with the 37-year-old this season, and it is unlikely to be the last given his new status as a substitute. "I can say that it is a combination of football and human values." Ronaldo's antics prove the circus that follows the superstar around. Ten Hag was forced to confront the issue in his post-match press conference. Ronaldo's selfish tendencies have been mostly justified by his match-winning displays on the biggest of occasions throughout an astonishing career. United have now beaten Liverpool, Arsenal and Spurs at home, all teams for whom they will be competing for a Champions League qualification spot.

In the past he has not been shy of confronting somebody. "Ten Hag came off the bench and made very clear that was not accepted by him, shouted to him on the touchline in front of every television camera so everybody could hear it and the public behind the dugout. "He missed pre-season and Ten Hag made it very clear that was vital. There's only one way and it's the Erik ten Hag way. A club statement read: "Cristiano will not be part of the Manchester United squad for this Saturday's game against Chelsea. "It is the first time in his career that he's dealing with the calibre of Cristiano Ronaldo.

Chelsea news: Kepa revival demonstrates shock turnaround after years of uncertainty at Stamford Bridge and falling behind Edoaurd Mendy in the goalkeeping ...

In good positions, I feel good and I am helping the team. "Every player needs this confidence, this push, and for a goalkeeper, it's important when you have continuity and play matches in a row. “I thought Kepa got away with it with the red card. The anxiety it creates in the team is really bad.” Neville summed up the predicament, adding, “That is a sorry story for a £70m goalkeeper." Speaking after denying Ivan Toney with another brilliant save, he said, "I am playing with confidence, with the ball and without it. His current run is the best of his entire career. Although there could be a sense of luck to his initial matches - Edouard Mendy was injured as Potter took over - his impact has been remarkable nonetheless. Over the course of the last two games, the Spaniard has kept a total of 3.52 xG out whilst Chelsea themselves scored two goals from 2.14 xG. It was a really weak shot from outside the box.” He would make every defence a nervous wreck." It was not a great shot, not massive power.

The hosts had three good chances, but Blues goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga twice kept out headers from Ivan Toney and another one from Bryan Mbeumo.

Chelsea's injury crisis deepened on Wednesday night, after Conor Gallagher went off injured early against Brentford. The midfielder was forced off in the.

N’Golo Kante has also been ruled out of the tournament in Qatar, with a persistent hamstring injury set to keep the Frenchman out until the new year. Potter is already without defenders Reece James and Wesley Fofana, with James very likely to miss the World Cup with a knee problem. “He thought he was going to be sick so hopefully it’s just a 24 hour thing and he will be okay.”

Chelsea have gone seven matches unbeaten under Graham Potter, though it hasn't all been plain-sailing for the Blues as they have learned how to battle.

It was not a flawless outing, the Chelsea star would have hoped to challenge the Brentford forward more forthrightly early in the game when he rose for a free header. However, he was there to disturb Toney throughout the match and if not win every challenge, ensure there was always pressure on the opposition. From that moment, Chalobah has completed every minute and has not seen a goal hit the Blues net, albeit with some help from Kepa Arrizabalaga. The 23-year-old had his breakout season under Thomas Tuchel in 2021/22 but has looked more mature this term and more authoritative. The Champions League draw was an okay start for Potter and nothing more. It was 90 minutes that showed some promise even if the Blues did not leave Stamford Bridge with three points as Kepa Arrizabalaga, Cesar Azpilicueta, Thiago Silva, Marc Cucurella, Reece James, Mason Mount, Jorginho, Mateo Kovacic, Raheem Sterling, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Kai Havertz all started.
