Blues set to hold Court

MAURIZIO SARRI has told keeper Thibaut Courtois: You’re either with us or against us. The Chelsea boss will today order the Belgium star to tell him to his face if he wants to leave for Real Madrid before Thursday’s transfer deadline. And with just a year left on his contract, the Blues know they must sell him this month or risk losing him for free next summer. Sarri has dismissed comments from Courtois’ agent, Christophe Henrotay, calling on Chelsea to accept an offer from Real Madrid. He said: “I am not interested in the agent. But if Courtois says the same I have to speak with my club of course, as I only want players with high motivation.” And after yesterday’s defeat to Manchester City, Sarri added: “The first half was not too bad. But the second was a difference from the physical point of view.”
