Potter is fulfilling his Chelsea remit by trusting in youth but it will not ... (The Athletic)

One of the reasons Chelsea's new owners appointed Graham Potter was to develop young players and he is showing a willingness to do just that.

The former Arsenal striker braced himself for the impact rather than it being a surprise as Hakim Ziyech watched on and While Chelsea's starting XI are sent through their warm-up that builds in intensity and drills, it's safe to say substitutes have a more relaxed time becoming acquainted with the ball. Gabriel Slonina, who had returned on loan to Chicago Fire after completing his move, posted a picture of the game from the stands of Gtech Stadium along with the caption 'The Prem' and a blue heart. Referee Jarred Gillett had to head over to encourage the midfielder off the pitch, while Gallagher appeared confused how he had caused such chagrin. There was initially no sign of him being substituted as he gingerly made his way towards the dugout. The Blues moved on from the game with a single point leaving them in fourth place and a point ahead of Manchester United, who they face at Stamford Bridge this weekend. Chelsea began to find more control but as the likes of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Raheem Sterling and Christian Pulisic entered the fray, none could trouble the scoreline.

Cristiano Ronaldo walkout shades Man U win and upcoming ... (CTV News)

Cristiano Ronaldo is unlikely to start for Manchester United against Chelsea on Saturday and he is still dominating the buildup.

He was reluctant to let the player leave in the summer -- fearing his squad would be left short of a prolific goal-scorer. The outcome is unsatisfactory for all concerned -- and his walk off on Wednesday is unhelpful for Ten Hag at a time when he is still establishing himself at United. I want to keep the focus on this team. Offensive-wise you need dynamic, so that is what Marcus can bring." Ten Hag's choice of words was notable. We needed good pressing players.

Tuttosport: Milan want to sign two forwards from Chelsea in next two ... (SempreMilan)

AC Milan could do yet more transfer business with Chelsea as they are eyeing two forwards in view of future windows, a report claims.

Milan tried to sign Ziyech during the summer transfer window and they remain keen on the Moroccan winger, so much so that they could try a new attempt in January since the player is not featuring heavily in Graham Potter’s plans at the moment. That is why Milan are targeting Armando Broja, a 21-year-old Albanian striker who was also linked to Milan in the past, and at the moment he is not finding much playing time with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Kai Havertz ahead of him. AC Milan could do yet more transfer business with Chelsea as they are eyeing two forwards in view of future windows, a report claims.
