Loftus-Cheek has become a key part of the Chelsea squad this season

Chelseaboss Maurizio Sarri had previously expressed his concern that the charity friendly – part of the club’s Say No To Antisemitism campaign – could hinder the Blues’ Europa League final preparations.The America clash came just three days after Sunday’s final Premier League fixture at Leicester, with the Europa League final against Arsenal taking place on May 29 in Baku.“We go there for a good reason I think, so as a man I am very happy to go there,” said Sarri, ahead of travelling to the US.“As a coach, of course, I am a little bit worried because I know very well that the team now needs rest. So it is not the best way to prepare for the final, I think.”Sarri’s worst fears have now been realised, with Loftus-Cheek a major doubt for the final.GETTY2

The England international has made 40 appearances in total for the Blues this season

The 23-year-old has been a valuable player in the club’s run to the final.He has netted four times in 11 appearances in Europe this season, including the victory against Eintracht Frankfurt in the semi-finals.Loftus-Cheek’s injury will also concern England boss Gareth Southgate ahead of the Nations League finals next month.Southgate names his squad today and the Chelsea man is expected to be included.
