Chelsea boss Sarri admits Jorginho fatigue concern

Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri admits Jorginho is suffering from fatigue.

It is noticeable that Jorginho has become less effective in central midfield, with Sarri admitting the Italian is tired.

"He played very well for 20 matches," Sarri said. "Now, maybe, in the last two matches he was a little bit tired. He moved the ball a little bit slowly than before.

"I think that it's normal. You cannot stay at the top for 60 matches.

"It's the reason I said we needed a replacement for Cesc Fabregas, but it's not a big problem."
