Graham Potter has confirmed why Chelsea winger Mykhaylo Mudryk was substituted at half time.
Mudryk enjoyed a heavily impressive cameo performance against Liverpool on his debut after coming off the bench. Against Fulham on Friday, Mudryk was given his first start and struggled to repeat a similar performance.
The Ukrainian winger was substituted at halftime, and Potter has now addressed the reasons for this.

It wasn’t a vintage display from Mudryk, but Potter has explained it was more to do with illness than performance.
