Chelsea manager Maurizio Sarri has confirmed that Victor Moses and Danny Drinkwater are not part of his plans this season but added that he will look to rotate more this season as the fixtures pile up.
Moses who is a right-winger by trade, established himself as a right-back under former boss Antonio Conte, becoming a key figure in the side but has been relegated to the fringes under Sarri who has reverted back to a 4-3-3 tactical formation with the Nigerian battling with Pedro, Willian and Eden Hazard for a place in the side.
Drinkwater who was signed for £30 million in 2017 is yet to feature for the Blues since the Community Shield fixture earlier in the season is not expected to feature for Sarri again this season.
"I think the situation is that Drinkwater for me is not suitable for a midfield with two other midfielders. I told him two months ago what I think. Moses is more suitable for playing wing-back than like a winger or a full-back, I think. I don't know [if they have a future at Chelsea]. They have to improve but their characteristics are a little bit different," Sarri said as quoted by ESPN.
The Blues have started well under Sarri in his debut campaign, currently placed third in the league table with 24 points from 10 games.
