Chelsea's flops return to the training ground after humiliating 6 0 defeat vs Manchester City

Chelsea's flops return to the training ground after humiliating 6-0 defeat vs Manchester City. Chelsea's players looked downbeat as they pulled into the club's Cobham training base on Monday morning. Eden Hazard, David Luiz and N'Golo Kante were among those seen driving into the facility as they swiftly returned to the training pitch.  That trio were all involved on Sunday afternoon as Chelsea were demolished 6-0 by reigning champions Manchester City in the Premier League. Their under-pressure manager Maurizio Sarri must now rouse his players for Thursday's Europa League knockout tie with Swedish side Malmo. Things then get even tougher as they face a rejuvenated Manchester United in the FA Cup next Monday.  Sarri remained coy over his future on Sunday and, when asked if he was expecting a call from Abramovich, pointed towards the power structure at Chelsea. ‘You have to ask the club,’ Sarri said amid growing calls for his removal after a fourth defeat in eight games. ‘I’m worried about my team. I’m worried about the performance. My job is always at risk. ‘If the president calls, I’ll be happy, seeing as I never hear from him. ‘To be honest, I don’t know what to expect. I didn’t see my football. At the beginning of the season it worked. Now we need to understand the reasons why it isn’t working. It is not easy.’  Former Chelsea captain Frank Lampard is the bookmakers' favourite to become the next permanent boss if Sarri is shown the door.  Lampard has impressed so far this season with Derby County in the Championship in what is his first job as a manager since ending his illustrious playing career.   Lampard has been installed as 2/1 favourite with a few firms, edging out three-time Champions League winner Zinedine Zidane, who is yet to return to management since leaving Real Madrid. Jose Mourinho, sacked by Manchester United in December, is out at 12/1 for a return to Chelsea for a third spell.
