Chelsea defender Marcos Alonso has admitted he has struggled to adapt to the unique demands of manager Mauricio Sarri and says the Italian coach is 'still learning' about English football.
Alonso enjoyed two excellent seasons under Antonio Conte as part of a five man defence but appears less comfortable in the four-man system favoured by Sarri.
Having earned a place in the PFA team of the year last season and broken into the Spain squad, Alonso has endured a fall from grace this season.

Sarri substituted Alonso in the 6-0 defeat at Manchester City in February and also left him out of a trip to Malmo in the Europa League in the days that followed.
