Chelsea captain, Gary Cahill has spoken of his admiration for former
team mate Nemanja Matic.
The 29 year old joined Manchester United in July for a fee of £40m.
And the England international is of the opinion that he is will be a
huge loss to the Premier League Champions.
"I had the benefit of him playing just in front of me and I realised
how good he is on and off the ball.
"He'll be a huge loss."
The Serbian international won two Premier League titles in three
seasons for the Londoners.
The first of those titles came under the man that resigned him for the
second time in Jose Mourinho.
He stood out in his competitive debut for his new club as they lost
2-1 to Real Madrid in Tuesday's Super Cup match.
In his stead, Chelsea have signed French midfielder, Tiemoue Bakayoko
from Monaco. But he is not expected to make his debut until later this
month or in September as he continues to work his way to fitness
following a knee surgery he had in the summer.
Chelsea open the defence of their title against Burnley at Stamford
Bridge on Saturday.
