Antonio Conte faced the media on Friday as Chelsea prepare to face
London rivals, Tottenham Hotspur in the first official Premier League
match at Wembley, Spurs temporary home for this season.
The Italian gave an assessment of his squad, with players missing
through injuries and suspension. Cesc Fabregas and Gary Cahill are
suspended, Eden Hazard is still not fit. While Pedro still has pains
in his ankle and would sit out the match.
On new signing, Tiemoue Bakayoko, who though still on the mend, but
he's in contention to play because of the dearth of midfielders.
"Tiemoue Bakayoko is improving very well, he is not at the top of
physical condition, but I think he can be in contention for the game,
because I do not have another midfielder. He told the media
"His situation is not easy at the moment, it could force me to make a
different decision. At this moment some players don't have 100%.
The former Juventus manager have a decision to make on the player that
would feature alongside N'golo Kante in what would is expected to be a
much changed side with the suspensions garnered from the last match
against Burnley.
