Hudson-Odoi stretches his legs as glum Sarri takes Chelsea training

Published on: 21 February 2019

CALLUM HUDSON-ODOI finally had the chance to stretch his legs – as he trained in front of a glum-looking Maurizio Sarri today.

The young winger, 18, was once again glued to the bench for the 2-0 FA Cup defeat to Manchester United last night, with fans quickly losing patience with the boss.

Zidane is now being tipped to take over from the Italian after fans chanted "f*** Sarri-ball" and "you're getting sacked in the morning" last night.

With the Blues now out of contention in the FA Cup – as well as Premier League, you'd think – Sarri turned his attention to Europe today.

Chelsea host Malmo on Thursday in the second leg of their last-32 Europa League tie – desperate for a more encouraging display.

The whole squad, including Hudson-Odoi, David Luiz, Pedro and Ruben Loftus-Cheek were put through their paces at Cobham today.

While Cesar Azpilicueta had demanded a cup final performance before yesterday's embarrassment, they once again showed a worrying lack of desire.

In fact, desperate fans have claimed Sarri could be "deliberately ruining" the club with his "shocking substitutions" and tactical decisions.

The Italian brought on right-back Davide Zappacosta for Azpilicueta while two goals behind with just eight minutes to go – leaving the likes of Hudson-Odoi on the bench.

Young winger Callum Hudson-Odoi was an unused substitute – and a viral picture of him giving his manager "daggers" sums up what he thought of the snubbing.
