Former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher has slammed Chelsea manager Maurizio Sarri for recent comments he made about the club’s young winger Callum Hudson-Odoi.
Hudson-Odoi starred for England during the international break, making his debut as a substitute in the 5-0 win over Czech Republic and then impressing from the start against Montenegro in a 5-1 triumph.
