Maurizio Sarri said he is concerned about the effects of Chelsea travelling to the United States for a friendly next week after they reached the Europa League final.
The Blues face Leicester in the league on Sunday, then play New England Revolution three days later before facing Arsenal in Baku on May 29.
The match has been arranged to raise funds for anti-discrimination.
“We have to recover energy because we are really very tired,” Sarri said.
“Unfortunately we have to go to the United States. I think in this moment we need to rest then we have 10 days to prepare for the final.”
The friendly has been scheduled since March and is billed as an anti-discrimination game called “Final Whistle on Hate”, which was set up by club owners Roman Abramovich and Robert Kraft.
