Things will get better
Kalidou Koulibaly insists Chelsea will get back on track after last night’s disappointing defeat to Fulham.
The 10-man Blues went down 2-1 but have little time to lick their wounds ahead of another London derby with Crystal Palace on Sunday.
And Koulibaly, who levelled matters at Craven Cottage before Joao Felix was red-carded, is confident Graham Potter’s beleaguered side can pick up a positive result against the Eagles.
The Senegal centre-back, 31, said: “We know it’s difficult for the supporters. But we are going to do everything to change this situation and I hope they keep believing in this team.
“There is a lot of pressure on the manager and on the team but everybody is behind the manager.
“We want to help him and make him proud. It’s difficult at the moment but we’re going to do everything.
“We are going to help each other and as a team we are going to keep on working.”
Joelinton in the bad books
Eddie Howe could drop Joelinton for Sunday’s Premier League clash with Fulham following the midfielder’s arrest for drink-driving.
The Brazilian, 26, was charged by police after being stopped during the early hours of Thursday morning and is due to appear before magistrates later this month.
Asked if he would be available for the match with the Cottagers, Toon boss Howe said: “I’m going to have to reflect and analyse on that.
“I’ll make a decision closer to the game in consultation with him, so I’m not 100% sure.
“My relationship with Joe is very good. I have sat down with him and will do so again.
“Ultimately, I have to pick the best team to win the game, that’s my job, but I also have to take into account the situation around that.”
