Chelsea Manager, Graham Potter is facing a possible players revolt after some of the Blues stars who are unhappy with his selection decisions criticised him.

The former Brighton boss has been leaving out Three Lion midfielder, Mason Mount, from his team for recent matches.

According to The Independent, some squad members are of the opinion that Potter’s action is wrong, even though Mount has not been in the best form.

They believe he chose to drop him because he is quiet and opted to play louder players like Hakim Ziyech, who whine about not getting enough playing time.

Mount, who has played more from the bench since Potter was hired, is likely to leave Stamford Bridge in the summer, as he has not yet agreed a new contract.

Similarly, the Blues boss is also under fire for barely playing big-money winter signing, Mykhailo Mudryk, since he arrived from Ukraine.
