‘Problem’: Graham Potter reveals £80,000-a-week Chelsea star won’t play v Leeds
According to the official website of Chelsea, the team’s manager Graham Potter has announced that Mason Mount will be unable to participate in the Premier League match against Leeds United, which will take place on Saturday afternoon at Stamford Bridge in London.
Potter stated that Mount, who is a midfielder for Chelsea and also plays for the English national team, has an issue in his lower abdominal region and will not be fit to play against Leeds.
Potter said on Friday: “Mason’s had a problem with his lower abdomen area, the bone, so he’ll miss the game tomorrow. We hope it won’t be too long but tomorrow will be too soon.”
Chelsea is currently facing difficulties as they are finding it challenging to score goals and secure victories. As a result, Leeds United may view this as an opportunity to win the match at Stamford Bridge or, at the very least, obtain a draw.
Leeds United is currently facing the possibility of relegation from the Premier League to the Championship at the conclusion of the season.
Despite this, the team managed to achieve a victory over Southampton in the Premier League at Elland Road during the previous weekend, which is likely to have boosted their morale significantly.
Mason Mount is an excellent and versatile player, and despite not performing at his best this season, the 24-year-old midfielder, who earns £80,000-a-week according to The Daily Mail, is still a formidable opponent.
However, his absence from the match at Stamford Bridge against Leeds United on Saturday is likely to boost the confidence of the opposing team and improve their chances of winning the game.
