According to Graeme Souness, Chelsea midfielders Mateo Kovacic and Jorginho are not up to the standard required at Chelsea.

N’Golo Kante, Kovacic and Jorginho started in midfield for Chelsea in the 2-1 win over Lille on Tuesday night.

Souness praised the impact of Kante but believes opponents would want to play against Kovacic and Jorginho in central midfield. 

“I think the midfield is lacking,” Souness told Virgin Media Sport.

“I like Kante, we speak about him every time we see him about how good he is. But I think Kovacic and Jorginho border on five-a-side players.

“If I’m a midfielder and I’m in the tunnel with Kovacic and Jorginho as my opponents, I’m licking my lips. I’d want to play against them.

“I wouldn’t want to play against Kante. I’d want to play against them.”
