Potter speaks on Felix’s form vs Everton

Chelsea star Joao Felix was on the receiving end of some harsh treatment from the Everton defenders during their Saturday clash.

The Blues manager Graham Potter in a post-match statement said he is happy Felix is adapting to the physicality that comes with playing in the Premier League.

Potter said in a statement via Chelsea’s website: ‘I think Joao played a really good game. He mixed his game up well, he ran in behind, he dropped in, I think he linked up well with Kai and Christian and Enzo and Kova so I’m really happy with his performance.

‘Coming to the Premier League there’s going to be physicality, you expect that, it’s up to the referees to see all the incidents, but we’re happy with Joao and we’re happy with how the affected the game. He’s adapting and learning all the time so it’s positive for us.’
