Dennis Wise believes Ross Barkley has made the most of his opportunities under Maurzio Sarri, with the new man in charge at Stamford Bridge having started the midfielder in all seven of his games at the helm - including those in pre-season.
Barkley is hoping that his resurgence at Stamford Bridge will earn him a recall to the England squad, as he benefits from Antonio Conte's departure over the summer.
The 25-year-old was nursing a long-term thigh problem when he joined Chelsea in January and setbacks in his recovery limited him to just four games in the 2017-18 campaign.
