Potter staff being placed on gardening leave at Chelsea

Chelsea caretaker boss Frank Lampard is likely to move on from Graham Potter's backroom staff.

The club's former permanent boss is in charge until the end of the season.

Lampard has trusted assistants Ashley Cole, Joe Edwards and Chris Jones working with him.

The likes of first-team coach Bruno Saltor, Bjorn Hamberg or any of Potter's other backroom staff appear set to leave the club.

Per The Athletic, they are in a similar situation to Anthony Barry, who has been told to stay away from the club on gardening leave.

The club's situation means they may have more coaches on gardening leave than in the dugout when they take on Real Madrid in the Champions League midweek.
