Jamie Carragher has blasted Chelsea manager Maurizio Sarri for admitting he only watched 20 minutes of Callum Hudson-Odoi’s full England debut against Montenegro.
The 18-year-old was left on the bench as the Blues sealed a controversial 2-1 victory at Cardiff on Sunday afternoon – despite the travelling supporters chanting his name throughout.

Hudson-Odoi did not feature against Cardiff
Hudson-Odoi’s omission took many by surprise after he starred for the Three Lions during the 5-1 victory in Podgorica last Monday.
And speaking before the clash at the Cardiff City Stadium, Sky Sports pundit Carragher branded Sarri’s pre-match comments as ‘stupid’.
“This is a lad who’s making his international debut. Why are you not watching the full game?” he said.

“You could argue Sarri is watching a lot of his Chelsea team-mates, flicking the channels, but he doesn’t need to watch them, they are all 27, 28, 29. This is a young kid. Can he handle the spotlight of playing for England? This is a lad I’m trying to keep at my club.
“So to then just dismiss this lad’s international debut – maybe the biggest thing that’s ever happened to him as a footballer – I can just imagine the people above Sarri just shaking their head and thinking ‘why are you saying such a stupid thing in the press conference? We are trying to get this lad to sign a contract.’
“I would not be surprised if the people at the top at Chelsea were onto the agent and trying to calm the situation down.
“If he hasn’t watched it and he doesn’t think he’s played well, be clever, use your brain. Don’t say it. Say you did watch it. Of course, he has to improve, he’s still a kid, but to dismiss someone on their international debut I think it was an absolutely stupid thing to say.”
