“We have quality players at Chelsea, so what I do is focus on what I can control, I try to give my best in training, when I get an opportunity, I try to give my best, it goes day after day. I try to seize every opportunity I have, I try to control everything I can and I leave it in God’s hands, and I trust myself a lot too.”
The show of support from within the squad highlights a united front as Chelsea prepares for a crucial run of fixtures designed to steer their season back on track.
