Chelsea goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois has informed new boss Maurizio Sarri that he wants to leave, according to ESPN.

Following Sunday’s Community Shield defeat to Manchester City, the new Blues boss said that Courtois could be sold if he wanted to leave the club.

It’s also worth noting that Caballero started the match yesterday, and that Real Madrid have been strongly linked all summer with a move for the Belgium number 1. It looks even if the deal doesn’t happen before the weekend, that he may not play this weekend.

Wagner on defensive versatility

David Wagner is pleased with the versatility his Huddersfield Town squad have shown in pre-season, with his unit able to play as both a four and a five.

When asked what we can read in to his changing of formations during the pre-season, Wagner said:


“You can read that we are able to do both in a good way, like we have done last season. This is how we will continue.

“We can vary it and we can react to different oppositions if necessary.

“The players have done it in the past and they have done it in a good manner as well.”
