Former Chelsea manager Glenn Hoddle says Ruben Loftus-Cheek deserves to be a first-choice for Maurizio Sarri.

The midfielder, who was substituted on 83 minutes, produced an impressive performance as the Blues earned a valuable 1-1 draw in the Europa League semi-final first leg at Eintracht Frankfurt.

"I just think the manager has got to trust him more and more," said Hoddle on BT Sport.

"There's more to come from this lad by the way, we haven't seen the best of him yet - if he's given the shirt, if he knows the managers going to put him in on the big games, if he says you're an eight for me, one holding player and two eights and you will be one of them.

"There's more to come, if he's given the shirt, plays consistently. I think he's frustrated, I see the frustration in his game, and then I think he can get back in the England team. He has such a frame. He might have to score more goals."
