Maurizio Sarri has thrown into doubt the career of Chelsea’s duo.
Sarri, who has enjoyed a rather perfect start at the Stamford Bridge admits that Danny Drinkwater is not suited to a midfield role while Victor Moses is not suited for wing or fullback positions. Both have had to deal with little playtime at the Bridge since the Italian took over. Moses, unlike Drinkwater regularly played under Antonio Conte where a three-man defence system was more preferred.
“I think the situation is that Drinkwater for me is not suitable for a midfield with two other midfielders,” Sarri said. “I told him two months ago what I think.
“Moses is more suitable for playing wing-back than like a winger or a full-back, I think. I don’t know if they have a future at Chelsea. They have to improve but their characteristics are a little bit different. We have used 26 players in official matches [in all competitions] this season so the rotation at the moment is this, but I don’t know in the future,” Sarri is quoted by ESPN.
“If you look only in the Premier League the situation is that you are right only used 19 players but I have to look at all competitions: 90 minutes are 90 minutes. You have to look at the League Cup, Europa League and the national team.
“I have to look also to the minutes in the national teams. So I think the rotation is good. Every moment was done only between the Europa League, League Cup and Premier League but in the future, it will be different. If you look at December and January, you need to change also in the Premier League because we will play every three days in the Premier League. So we need to change in the Premier League.” Sarri explained.
The Blues will entertain Crystal Palace today in a league clash.
