Chelsea boss Di Matteo angry over international friendlies

Chelsea boss Roberto di Matteo is angry about this week's international friendlies.

West Bromwich Albion's home record is second only to Manchester City's and they may fancy their chances against a Chelsea side who saw several of their players forced to travel long distances to play for their countries in midweek.

Di Matteo hit out at November's midweek friendlies, saying: "From a club point of view, they don't make any sense.

"Most managers won't be too happy having three-quarters of their team jetting around the world for a friendly."
