DENIS ZAKARIA is heading for talks over his Chelsea future after failing to play a single minute under Thomas Tuchel OR Graham Potter.
The summer loan recruit from Juventus insists “I believe in myself 100 per cent” but has not even made the bench since Potter took over four weeks ago.
And transfer expert Fabrizio Romano claims Zakaria’s predicament will soon be discussed within the club.
The Switzerland anchorman, 25, was linked with Manchester United and Arsenal before joining Juve from Borussia Monchengladbach in January this year.
He played 13 times in his half-season with the Italian giants, notching a goal and an assist.
But after joining the Blues under Tuchel on September he is now way down Potter’s list of midfield options.
