Graham Potter has called on his Chelsea players to 're-energise' over the World Cup break after a challenging period.

Chelsea suffered a 1-0 defeat away at Newcastle on Saturday, a result that leaves them without a win in their last five Premier League matches - something which last happened for the Blues in 2012.

It leaves Chelsea in eighth place and eight points off the Champions League spots going into the World Cup break.
