Graham Potter says managers have to make decisions for the good of their group even if they could come back to haunt them, as he prepares to face a Cristiano Ronaldo-less Manchester United.
Potter’s Chelsea will not have to worry about Ronaldo following Ten Hag’s axing of the Portuguese superstar from his squad after the 37 year-old stormed down the tunnel and left Old Trafford before the end of United’s midweek win over Tottenham.
Ronaldo also refused to come on as a sub before his walk-off strop and has paid the price after ten Hag took exception to his public display of dissent.
