Chelsea boss Graham Potter has spoken about the state of mind of midfielder Mason Mount.
The England international has not enjoyed his best season, while he is also in contract talks with the club.
In addition, Potter touched on the fitness of French midfielder N'Golo Kante, who fans hope to see from the start in one of their upcoming Premier League games.
On Mount, Potter told reporters: It's been tough for him because he's had niggly injuries and noise off the pitch.
He's a top professional, how he's acted with me and around us has been top. Sometimes if things in your career aren't optimal, you've got to act well and he has."
He added on Kante's fitness: We have to manage that because of he's been out for so long. He's had some behind closed doors time and I'm pretty sure he will be out on the pitch at some point."
