Chelsea midfielder Ross Barkley will miss the clash against Manchester United on Saturday after picking a knock while on international duty with England.
The former Everton midfielder is not ready to play a crucial fixture as Chelsea’s next against Man United as he needs one or two more days to recover fully from his knock, which certainly means he will not be out for long.
Sarri says Barkley has a small problem but only needs "one, two days". He thinks Rudiger & Kovacic will be fit #cfc

Barkley has been on impressive form in the last couple of weeks after finding his first goal and assist in Chelsea’s win over Southampton at the St. Mary’s stadium and also producing a fine display against Spain in England’s international friendly.
In his absence, Mateo Kovacic will likely start alongside Jorginho and N’Golo Kante in a three-man midfield. Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Cesc Fabregas will deputize on the bench as the Blues seek to continue their unbeaten streak in the Premier League against Jose Mourinho’s Man United this weekend.
