«Breaking News» Sarri plays down Pedro injury scare in Chelsea win

Sept 21 (Reuters) - Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri has played down the significance of the shoulder injury Spanish winger Pedro suffered during the 1-0 victory over Greek side PAOK Salonika on Thursday.

Pedro was involved in an accidental collision with PAOK goalkeeper Alexandros Paschalakis in the final minutes of the Europa League Group L fixture and was helped from the field by Chelsea medical staff.

Sarri confirmed the Spaniard needed to be further assessed to determine the severity of the injury but said his initial impression was that it would not prove as damaging as first feared.

"I don't know exactly the situation," the Italian told a news conference. "I have only talked to the doctor for a few seconds and he said probably it is not a very serious injury."

Chelsea picked up their sixth consecutive win in Thessaloniki courtesy of an early goal from Willian, but Sarri was disappointed that striker Alvaro Morata failed to make the most of his return to the starting lineup.

Morata has lost his place to Frenchman Olivier Giroud and Sarri admitted the Spaniard was in severe need of confidence boost to rediscover his touch in front of goal for the Premier League leaders.

"Alvaro has to gain confidence with one, two, three goals," Sarri added. "I am not able to give him confidence. In this match, he had three or four opportunities.

"He was unlucky. I hope for him in the future I can help him. But the confidence can come with goals. For the first time in this season, he was ready in the box. He was on the ball and was active."

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
