These players can play two games in a week - Gabby Agbonlahor questions Graham Potter on why 2 Chelsea stars were not in starting line-up to face Brighton

Chilwell and Aubameyang were named on the bench for the Blues' Premier League encounter against Brighton & Hove Albion on October 29. Summer arrival Raheem Sterling started as the side's left wing-back with Marc Cucurella at left centre-back, while Kai Havertz started upfront. Aubameyang notably started his side's 2-1 UEFA Champions League win over RB Salzburg in midweek, while Chilwell was a substitute in that game as well. Agbonlahor's questioning of Potter's rotation policy began with a criticism of Cucurella, who joined from Brighton for £60 million in the summer. The former striker said on talkSPORT (as quoted by ): ‘‘When I watch Cucurella, since he’s been at Chelsea… maybe [there are] two games maximum where he looked OK. He got dragged off after 36 minutes against Manchester United and was sacrificed for [the change of] formation, today [against Brighton, he was] sacrificed in the 64th minute.’’ Agbonlahor continued: ‘‘£60million they paid for him… and you’ve got Ben Chilwell sitting on the bench. Why is Aubameyang not starting? Why is Chilwell not starting? These players can play two games in a week.’’ ? “Why are Aubameyang and Chilwell not playing today??”“Too much rotation and Cucurella looks like a bad £60m signing…”
