Chelsea manager Maurizio Sarri has spoken about his somewhat surprising team selection for the game against Cardiff City today.

All three were in action for their countries in the last couple of weeks as we had a break from club football, and Sarri seems concerned about burn-out.
Still, Chelsea fans were far from happy when the teams were announced earlier on, so it remains to be seen how convinced they’ll be by Sarri’s answers here.
