Maurizio Sarri provides an injury update on Eden Hazard, speaks out on Ianni and Alonso's deal

Starting their European campaign with 1-0 wins over PAOK and MO: Vidi, Chelsea will be hoping to maintain their 100% start in the competition when the Belarusian side Bate Borisov travel to the capital. Ahead of the game, Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri has faced the press. On Chelsea's first two Europa League games. These two matches in Europe have been difficult. They’ve not been easy. We have to prepare our minds to play another difficult match. On possible changes I don’t know. We have to play after five days from the last match. The problem will be on Sunday as we have to play after 65 hours. We have to change something. Jorginho needs to rest now. On Alonso's deal I’m very happy for him. He can be the best left-back in Europe. He needs to improve in the defensive phase as he played in a five more, now he plays in a four. If he can improve he can be the best left-back in Europe. On Ianni's charge As I said after the match, we were wrong. I was there when Marco spoke to Mr Mourinho and he said sorry immediately. He realised he was wrong. I want to give him another opportunity. He was really sorry and he realised the mistake. Any punishment from within the club for Ianni? I don’t know. If I want to give him another opportunity it will be the full opportunity. Eden Hazard's injury He’s out. He’s got a back problem. We’re trying to solve the problem for Sunday. Ampadu is also out. On changes against BATE For sure Jorginho. I need to think very well as the problem is the next match after 65 hours. Maybe five or six. I don’t know about Hudson-Odoi but Loftus maybe.
