Graham Potter has provided an update on Mason Mount amid the players’ contract situation.
Mount’s deal with the Blues expires next summer and the contract talks have stalled. Several Premier League clubs including Liverpool have shown an interest in signing the player.
During this season, the 24-year-old has made 32 appearances as he suffered an injury.
Chelsea prepare to face Aston Villa in the Premier League on Saturday, April 1.
Speaking ahead of the game during a press conference, Potter said: “It’s been tough for him because he’s had niggly injuries and noise off the pitch. He’s a top professional, how he’s acted with me and around us has been top.
“Sometimes if things in your career aren’t optimal, you’ve got to act well and he has.”
