Chelsea boss Sarri to hand unsettled Giroud start

Olivier Giroud set to start for Chelsea against Slavia Prague in the Europa League tonight.

The fed-up Frenchman warned he could walk away from the club in the summer if he is not given guarantees about his game time.

Maurizio Sarri looks likely to start Giroud, 32, in the Blues' Europa League quarter-final second-leg tonight at Stamford Bridge.

The former Arsenal forward has scored nine goals and set up two more in just eight Europa starts this season.

Chelsea take a 1-0 lead into the clash thanks to Marcos Alonso's late winner in Prague.
