Maurizio Sarri said there will be "no Christmas" for Chelsea ahead of Saturday's clash with Leicester City as the festive period is so busy.
He revealed there will be training for the Blues squad on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day as they have a Boxing Day fixture at Watford.
The Italian also added he prefers to be working than celebrating Christmas, per Liam Twomey of ESPN FC:
"There is no Christmas for us. We have to play every three days: [Dec] 19, 22, 26, 30, [Jan] 2, 5, 8/9. So there is no Christmas for us.
