Havertz admits Chelsea response mixed to Potter sacking

Several players in the Chelsea 32-man squad were not unhappy to see Graham Potter sacked.

That is the opinion of attacker Kai Havertz, who spoke about the departure of the young English coach.

Potter lost his job at the weekend, with the club likely to bring back Frank Lampard to take them to the end of the season.

After a 0-0 draw with Liverpool, Havertz said: “Of course, there were mixed emotions for everyone. It is not that, I don't know how many players that we have in the squad… that everyone is [either] frustrated or happy.

“There are mixed emotions from everyone. For me, it was of course sad news. We saw it in the media.

“Everyone took it by themselves through the media. That's it. I liked Graham and I liked what he did, that's it."
