Maurizio Sarri is hopeful that Ruben Loftus-Cheek will be able to feature in Thursday’s Europa League opener for Chelsea.
Speaking after Saturday’s victory over Cardiff, as reported by Goal, Sarri revealed that the midfielder could feature, but was unclear about whether or not he will be fit enough to start the game.
A tibia injury that was sustained during the international break ruled him out of Saturday’s victory, but it is not expected to be too serious.
Loftus-Cheek has a little problem with the right tibia. You saw today [Saturday] he wasn’t able to play, but I hope he can recover in the next two or three days. Maybe [Thursday is] an opportunity I can give him a chance.
Loftus-Cheek will be keen to make a return to the squad on Thursday, with Maurizio Sarri likely to rotate and make use of his squad depth in Europe.
The England international was tipped for big things at Stamford Bridge this season, but the arrivals of Jorginho and Mateo Kovacic have seen game time hard to come by for Loftus-Cheek.
