As part of the 12th round of the Premier League, Chelsea will play at home with Everton. Head coach of "pensioners" Maurizio Sarri on the eve of the meeting commented on the game Ross Barkley.

"I am very pleased with him because he is a mature player. He has physical qualities because he is fast, knows how to fight and is very good technically.. He hits well with both legs. He adds speed to his work with the ball, thinks faster and gets better tactically, so I think he is on his way to becoming a very important player, "Chelsea quotes the official website.

Surrey released Barkley and Loftus-Chick in the starting lineup for the away game with BATE in the Europa League.

“I think Ross had a very good match, but we took a chance, because it’s not easy for me to release Barkley and Loftus-Chick in the midfield, two very attacking midfielders, and it’s also not easy for them”.

“I think at this point, Bucklee is one step further than Loftus-Chick from a tactical point of view, because Loftus-Chick later arrived at the team’s location during the preseason and in the first part of the season he had two or three minor damage, so I think this is normal. It was a risk to put both on the field, but I wanted to look at it. ".
