Chelsea warned Sarri-ball may force Hazard & Kante away from Stamford Bridge

Ex-Blues defender Mario Melchiot believes two players often played out of position at the Bridge may soon decide to look elsewhere for preferred roles

Chelsea have been warned that Sarri-ball may be pushing Eden Hazard and N’Golo Kante towards the exits, with Mario Melchiot suggesting that tactical tweaks could lead to high-profile departures.

Two star performers at Stamford Bridge have often been asked to play out of position this season.

Belgian forward Eden Hazard was used as a ‘false nine’ prior to the January arrival of Gonzalo Higuain, while World Cup winner Kante has been moved out of a holding midfield post.
