Sarri on rotating: "I don't think in West Ham that we hadn't won because of the match in Greece. We had changed a lot of player so the reason wasn't that. Tomorrow we need to change some players because we spent a lot of mental and physical energy." #CFC
Sarri on priorities: "For my club to play in the Champions League [top four] is more important but I want to make it to the end of the Europa League" #CFC
Sarri on injuries: "Pedro is doing better, like Loftus-Cheek, so I think tomorrow every player is available." He says he wants to see the squad train again before deciding his team #CFC
Sarri on Chelsea being favourites to win the Europa League: "The Europa League is an unusual competition because we don't know the names of all the teams that will arrive in the second round of the competition." #CFC
Sarri on whether the Europa League will help Chelsea in the PL: "I think it is more difficult, because in the Champions League you usually have 80 hours between one match and another. In the Europa League, especially in England, it is around 60 hours." #CFC
Sarri on his lack of trophies record: "In Italy, it is not easy to win a trophy. In the last 7-8 years only Juventus win the trophies. In England it is difficult because we have 6-7 teams that can win so it is difficult but I am here to win. I want to win something." #CFC
Sarri on Hazard-CHO-Ampadu playing in the group: "For sure, not both Hazard and Odoi will play. I don't know at the moment. As I said, a couple of weeks ago, the period of the first and second international breaks is my pre-season. Maybe tomorrow we will see RLC" #CFC
Sarri seems really happy that Fabregas can deputise Jorginho, he says he is not changing his style of play too much. Adds he is a better passer than Jorginho in some senses. #CFC
Sarri on pressure to use Ruben Loftus-Cheek to show the academy is producing the right talent: "It is normal to a player of a high level to have pressure from the club, newspapers and the manager I think" #CFC
Sarri on Barkley for England: "I think so. I think he can improve even more and return into the national team. I think so [he is playing enough to be called by Southgate] he has played more than last season in two months." #CFC
Sarri on how quickly adapted to English football: "I was lucky to have found a group of players who were open and available to me all the time. I was lucky to have quality players who allow us to win games." #CFC
