Maurizio Sarri is also unlikely to be able to call on two of his brightest young talents who are set to miss the start of next season through injury.Callum Hudson-Odoi ruptured his Achilles in April and had to have surgery. Even the most optimistic of timescales on his recovery have him missing the start of the season.

Striking options will be limited without Olivier Giroud and Gonzalo Higuain while Hazard was also used up front this season.Tammy Abraham has 26 Championship goals this season and could be recalled to fill that gap.
