Sarri explains Ruben Loftus-Cheek omission from Chelsea squad

Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri has revealed that he omitted Ruben Loftus-Cheek from Chelsea’s squad to face Arsenal as he wanted to maintain a balance on his bench. "It depends on the position on the pitch," he told reporters. "I prefer to have on the bench two wingers, and only one midfielder. So it depends on this. Not any other situation. "I needed on the bench one goalkeeper (Willy Caballero), one full-back (Davide Zappacosta), one centre-back (Andreas Christensen), maybe two midfielders and only one winger, but yesterday I preferred vice versa, two wingers (Eden Hazard, Victor Moses) and one midfielder (Kovacic)."
