Opponent Eintracht Frankfurt, Chelsea Crisis Defender Central
Opponent Eintracht Frankfurt, Chelsea Crisis Defender Central Maurizio Sarri called Chelsea in trouble because many of their central defenders were injured ahead of the first leg of the Europa League semi-final. Chelsea manager Maurizio Sarri admitted his side had a crisis at the central defender ahead of the away match against hosts Eintracht Frankfurt in the first leg of the Europa League semi-final on Friday (3/5) early morning hrs. Chelsea flew to Frankfurt carrying only two fit central defenders such as David Luiz and Andreas Christensen, while Antonio Rudiger had to end the season due to injury and Gary Cahill who was still in the Achilles tendon healing stage. Sarri then tried to anticipate this situation by training Cesar Azpilicueta in the central defender's position because he knew he could not have Cahill. "Cahill is still absent due to Achilles tendon problems," Sarri said at a press conference session. I hope to be able to have him again in one week
