Chelsea players are said to be unhappy with the quality of Maurizio Sarri’s training sessions.
A report from the Daily Mail claims that the Italian’s day-to-day sessions are ‘felt to be repetitive’.
Chelsea now often train in the afternoon, something that has also seen tensions grow within the squad.
Many players have young families and the timing has reportedly limited the amount of time that they can spend together.
Like Antonio Conte before him, Sarri’s training focuses largely on agility and tactical tweaks.
Players are spending less and less time in the gym and more time on the training ground working on team shape as Sarri continues to try and implement ‘Sarri-ball’.
The Italian head coach is approaching a crucial period in his Chelsea tenure, with a run of key fixtures coming up over the course of the next couple of weeks.
Chelsea face Manchester United on Monday night, Malmo on Thursday before Sunday’s cup final against City.
