Chelsea win at Cardiff plasters over wound as Maurizio Sarri benches Callum Hudson-Odoi

Daily Mail  

As Maurizio Sarri grew tired amid a pummelling of questions about Callum Hudson-Odoi at his press conference on Friday, the Italian let out a rueful smile. The Chelsea supporters were already exasperated by their manager before the international break and Sarri's words and decisions since the return of Premier League football have only compounded the angst on the terraces. On Friday afternoon at Chelsea's Cobham training ground, Sarri's assessment of the teenager seemed partially reasonable in outlining how Hudson-Odoi must improve. When Olivier Giroud arrived as Chelsea's final substitution, leaving Hudson-Odoi to stew on the bench, supporters told Sarri that he did not know what he was doing. Victor Camarasa celebrates after giving relegation-battlers Cardiff the lead Chelsea captain Cesar Azpilicueta headed in the equalising goal after 84 minutes As the cameras panned to the dugout, the faces of the rested N'Golo Kante, Eden Hazard and Hudson-Odoi watched on painfully in the first half.
