Leeds and Dortmund matches ‘make or break’ for Graham Potter amid player anger at Chelsea – Paper Round

Leeds and Dortmund ‘make or break’ for Potter Chelsea’s owners continue to back Graham Potter but the next two games are “make or break” for the head coach, according to the Telegraph. Chelsea host Leeds on Saturday before welcoming Borussia Dortmund to Stamford Bridge in the Champions League next week, and after one win in 2023, Potter cannot afford for the season to spiral further — and there is “anger” among the squad, too.

Ad “Chelsea’s run is not just testing the faith of the owners, with senior players said to be concerned over whether or not Potter can turn the situation around, new signings shocked by the pressure they are already under and anger among those who are having to be left out of the matchday squad,” the Telegraph writes.
