Mount’s inclusion in the team published on Thursday was reportedly the result of a breakdown in communication between Chelsea and the England camp, although Raheem Sterling’s unavailability had been discussed beforehand. Sterling, who has a hamstring problem, was not on the list released on Thursday.
“He’s never been available as far as I’m aware,” said Potter. “Probably as a club we will (seek clarity on why he was named). I don’t have all the contacts of all the doctors.
“As far as I was aware, he wasn’t going to be available for us at the weekend. He needed a bit of time for his injury to settle down which pretty much ruled him out of the England thing.
“Whether (England) needed a bit of time to double check that, I don’t know. I don’t think there’s anything untoward. Sometimes, a player can be named but there’s still a couple of days where things can be changed. As far as I was aware he wasn’t available.
“Mason has good days, and he has days where he has a setback. It’s a niggly one. Hopefully if we can manage him through this period he might be OK.”JAMB Result
