The forward was replaced by Conor Gallagher at half-time for Chelsea, who claimed their third win on the bounce at the King Power Stadium.
Date published: Sunday 12th March 2023 1:02 -Graham Potter explained his decision to hook Joao Felix at half-time in Chelsea’s 3-1 win over Leicester on Saturday.
With the game level at 1-1 at half-time after Patson Daka cancelled out Ben Chilwell’s opener, Kai Havertz’s fine finish and Mateo Kovacic’s late volley secured a big three points for Potter and Chelsea, who have now won three on the bounce in all competitions. Felix has looked good since his loan move from Atletico Madrid in January, but has scored just once and has failed to claim an assist in eight appearances for the club.
“He scored a goal but he was offside and that, again, was just down to his eagerness to get in there.”
