Chelsea boss Sarri refuses to bite back at Cahill

Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri has shrugged off Gary Cahill's scathing attack in the press after their defeat of Watford.

Cahill has labelled this season - his final at Chelsea - as "terrible" and said Sarri had failed to explain to him why he was no longer a regular starter at the club.

"I don't know the situation, I'm sorry," Sarri said when asked if he was aware of Cahill's interview.

"It's not important for me. Cahill, during the season, was really very professional. He played only five, six or seven matches, but he was really very important in the training ground, in the dressing room.

"Today was his last match for Chelsea, so it was important for him to be on the pitch, only for a few minutes but I still think it was really very important for the fans and for him.

"Here, Gary won everything. And so I think he had to say goodbye to the stadium, to the fans, to the club."
