Former Chelsea boss Potter says some Chelsea players “sat on the floor” due to lack of seats

Former Chelsea manager Graham Potter revealed that during his tenure, some Chelsea players did not have seats.

Those players resorted to sitting on the floor during club gatherings in 2022. 

Taking charge at Stamford Bridge after Thomas Tuchel left, Potter received eight new signings that winter. 

Speaking to The Telegraph this week, Potter said: “We tried to support it as best we could, but it left us with a challenge of a lot of players after January and then they can’t go anywhere.”

He added: “A few of them just had to sit on the floor. 

“It’s not ideal, of course. Everybody recognised it was a really difficult situation because you can only pick 11 players and if you’ve got 20 players not playing, it doesn’t matter where you are. If you can find a coach out there who says, ‘yeah, that’s the best condition for me,’ I’d be very surprised.”
