Sarri’s facing more pressure over snub for Hudson-odoi

MAURIZIO SARRI faces more scrutiny from the Chelsea hierarchy over his handling of Callum Hudson-odoi.

The 6-0 hammering at Manchester City on Sunday has increased the pressure on Stamford Bridge boss Sarri. And he faces questions over his treatment of teenage winger Hudsonodoi, starved of action even though his transfer request was turned down last month amid serious interest from Bundesliga

giants Bayern Munich. Chelsea expected their Italian manager to give Hudson-odoi more gametime in a bid to convince him his future lay at Stamford Bridge.

But he was left out of the squad for the 4-0 defeat at Bournemouth on January 30, played only the last 13 minutes of the 5-0 win against Huddersfield, and was omitted from Sarri’s squad again for Sunday’s humiliation at the Etihad.

After making their stance clear last month, Chelsea and Hudson-odoi are set to reassess in the summer.

But even if his situation does not improve, Mirror Sport understands a departure for Hudson-odoi is far from certain.

His chances of leaving will depend on Eden Hazard’s future.

Hazard (above) is a major target for Real Madrid and Blues are prepared to hold on to Hudson-odoi until the end of his contract in 2020 if the Belgian superstar leaves.
