Chelsea news: Two stars named who will be ‘fed up’ with Maurizio Sarri
CHELSEA stars Cesc Fabregas and Gary Cahill will be among a few players "fed up" with their lack of game time under Maurizio Sarri.
That is the opinion of Sky Sports pundit and former Arsenal star Charlie Nicholas.
Cahill is yet to feature at all for Chelsea in their seven games in all competitions this season.
The centre-back has revealed he will have to consider his future in January if he continues to be out of the team.
“For me to do this all season is going to be very difficult," Cahill said.
Not just the Cahill thing, but I think people like Fabregas and others will get fed up
"I realise sometimes football doesn't wait for people. Sometimes you have to make those decisions to keep going and progressing.
"Obviously the most important thing is the club, but I have to look at my situation.
"And if I'm sat doing what I'm doing at this moment in time, I just hope that the club will respect that when it comes to the time."
And Nicholas does not think Cahill will be the only one, with Fabregas yet to play in the Premier League this term.
“Not just the Cahill thing, but I think people like Fabregas and others will get fed up,” he said.
“They will get fed up. I don’t know that this is the type of club that there will be two or three of them that will accept that situation and the age they also are.”
But Nicholas’ colleague and former Liverpool defender Phil Thompson says the likes of Cahill and Fabregas must wait for their chance and be ready when it comes.
“When a team is winning, I don’t care who you are or what a good player you are, you have to just say ‘fair play’,” Thompson said.
“This team’s winning constantly. If you’re winning, and I know what you’re saying about Fabregas and Cahill, but you just have to wait your time.
“You’ve got to be ready when you get that time. It will get tested a bit more.
“Their hardest game was the Arsenal game, we said how many chances (Arsenal had), so there will be sterner tests and they will be tested.”
Chelsea will look to make it six wins from six in the Premier League when they visit West Ham tomorrow (1.30pm).
The Hammers picked up their first win of the campaign with a 3-1 victory at Everton last Sunday.
