Chelsea boss Sarri details long-term Hudson-Odoi plan with sale warning

Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri was pleased with goalscorer Callum Hudson-Odoi in victory over Europa League opponents Malmo.

Hudson-Odoi helped Chelsea beat Malmo 3-0 last night.

Sarri stated: "He played very well but I also think Christensen and Emerson played very well so I'm very happy with those three players. At the moment they are ready to play with consistency.

"You need to understand in the same position we have Pedro, Willian and Hazard, so it's not easy for a young player to play with consistency like his team mates. I want to remind you Callum has played 14 matches [this season]. We are using him in the right way.

"Twenty matches will become 30 next year, and then 40 the year after. But the club has to decide because if I want Callum on the pitch with consistency then I have to sell another winger, otherwise the club is in trouble."
