Former England striker Peter Crouch is convinced Ruben Loftus-Cheek will be floored if Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri ignores him for the trip to Burnley.

The Chelsea man could miss out on a start place against Burnley this weekend - despite his midweek Europa League hat-trick in the 3-1 win over BATE Borisov.

Glenn Hoddle has already spoken out saying the player must quit Stamford Bridge for good if he is overlooked in the coming weeks.

The Stoke City forward told the Daily Mail: "He has only played 33 minutes in the Premier League this season.

"This is a problem for a young player who has come through the ranks. If Chelsea would have spent £35 million on him in the summer, I'm certain he would have been on the pitch more.

"It would be demoralising for him not to be in the 18 at Turf Moor."
