Just SIX Chelsea players send their thanks to Graham Potter, over 24 hours after his sacking, with former Brighton charge Marc Cucurella and Ben Chilwell the only first-team stars not staying silent

Ben Chilwell and Marc Cucurella have sent messages of thanks to Graham Potter but only a handful of Chelsea players have publicly shown their appreciation to the sacked boss.

Potter was fired on Sunday night after less than seven months in charge, with the dismal 2-0 home defeat by Aston Villa that left the Blues 11th in the Premier League table proving his last act.

While Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Denis Zakaria had no problem 'liking' the sacking announcement on Chelsea's own Instagram account, some in the squad did thank Potter for his efforts.
