Chelsea suffer major injury blow ahead of showdown with Arsenal

Chelsea’s Ruben Loftus-Cheek is a doubt for Europa League final against Arsenal after limping off during a friendly victory over New England Revolution. Chelsea head coach Maurizio Sarri was against playing the match so close to the final in Baku and he appeared to be right as one of the Blues’ main players could now miss the match because of an ankle injury. Loftus-Cheek twisted his ankle in the lumpy pitch at the Gillette Stadium, going off in the second half. https://twitter.com/JaredWeissNBA/status/1128856938668797952 Sarri praised the friendly’s purpose after the game, as the Blues were in America as part of their ‘Say No To Antisemitism’ campaign. He said: "Travelling so far away and returning Friday morning before a Sunday match is tough." Sarri made six changes at half-time, with Loftus-Cheek one of the players to come off the bench.
