Chelseaboss Maurizio Sarri had previously expressed his concern that the charity friendly – part of the club’s Say No To Antisemitism campaign – could hinder the Blues’ Europa League final preparations.The America clash came just three days after Sunday’s final Premier League fixture at Leicester, with the Europa League final against Arsenal taking place on May 29 in Baku.“We go there for a good reason I think, so as a man I am very happy to go there,” said Sarri, ahead of travelling to the US.“As a coach, of course, I am a little bit worried because I know very well that the team now needs rest. So it is not the best way to prepare for the final, I think.”Sarri’s worst fears have now been realised, with Loftus-Cheek a major doubt for the final.GETTY2
