Chelsea boss Sarri on Hudson-Odoi: Montenegro no Premier League opposition

Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri says Callum Hudson-Odoi's success for England this past week must be put into perspective.

Sarri says the standard of Premier League teams is well above Montenegro.

"Because I am not playing against Montenegro," he said. "In the qualification for the European Championships, the level is very low, it is not Premier League level.

"It depends on the national team but there are lots with a very low level.

"I cannot understand why there is only one group. Maybe it is better to have a European Championships for the first level and another cup for the second level, because it is incredible that a player who is very important for a club has to play against, Malta or Cyprus, against Andorra or Liechtenstein. It is not right."
