Graham Potter has played down suggestions that Chelsea summer signing Denis Zakaria could leave Stamford Bridge in January and insists the Juventus loanee is ‘ready’ to help the team.
Asked if Zakaria could leave Chelsea in January, Potter said: ‘There has been no decision made at all on that. Denis has been in the group and he’s been training well.
‘He’s ready to help the team but obviously there’s competition for places in that area.
‘There’s no talks of anything [about leaving]. He’s an important member of the team. He’s being patient and trying to help the team from the side at the moment. He’s waiting for a chance.’
