Sarri speaks out on Pulisic, on Fabregas and David Luiz deals: Press conference

Chelsea are aiming to earn more points after beating Fulham as they visit Wolverhampton Wanderers, who are seeking a first victory in seven matches. Ahead of the Wednesday’s clash, Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri has spoken out to the press. Injury news No. I spoke with the doctor ten minutes ago, but we have no injuries at the moment. We have a little problem with Kovacic and Alonso in he last match, but they are ready to play. We have one more training session. Azpilicueta deal He is important for the club, staff and team-mates. I am very happy with the contract Ruben Loftus Cheek starting more? He has played in the Europa League and League Cup, some in the Premier League but not starting. At the moment he is very important for us. He had some problems to understand what I wanted, but he is improving and in the last two matches I have been very happy with him.  I want him to stay with me, with us so I think there is no chance Christian Pulisic I don’t want to talk about a player from another club. Facing Wolves I expect a very difficult match. They have technical players, they were unlucky in the last two matches, but it is not easy to play there. Klopp's reaction, would you do that? I don’t know. You have to understand the situation, the derby, the goal in the last minute. It can happen, it is better not to do something like that but I can understand that. Kovacic ankle and Alonso back injuries Kovacic, ankle. Alonso, back. I don’t know (if it made a difference to his performance). I don’t think you can say that after the match. Maybe during the match the back worsened, this is possible. I want to speak to him, he didn’t play very well. I know this, but I think he knows this. It can happen and today we will see the reaction and the situation of the back. For the doctor, it is better Does Morata need tough love or an arm around him? I don’t know. I must understand what he needs, but he has played well in the last month. He has scored five goals. He needs continuity I think. Confidence, so he needs that with scoring. Now he is 25, his character is this and he only has to stay calm. In the last match, he missed because he wanted to score too much. Luiz and Fabregas, new deals? I spoke with the club about this one month ago. I know very well it is not easy, but I think we can do a new deal for both.  They are very important players for us. It is very difficult to find a centre-back for this level and it is difficult to find a centre-midfielder technical like Fabregas, so I think they have to stay with us. The deal is very difficult for this reason (over 30), the club wants a short contract and the players want a long contract, it is difficult for this reason but we can find a solution. Do you need leaders, strong personalities? I think David and Cesc are leaders, I think it is important for me and the staff if they stay with us. I know the difficulties of the new deal. The problem is only, one or two years for a new contract, but I think the club can find the right solution.
