FABREGAS
Antonio Conte insists Cesc Fabregas is not for sale.
The
midfielder is yet to start in the Premier League under Conte since the Italian
took over in the summer and has played just 26 minutes in the competition.
Fabregas started the League Cup tie with Bristol Rovers and played the entire
match but they are the only three matches he has featured in.
But
Conte said: 'Cesc is in my plans and in Chelsea's plans. We all know Cesc as a
fantastic player. I see him in every training session with great work rate.
'If
he continues in this way, it'll be very difficult for me to choose my midfield.
But I want this from a player, putting many doubts in my mind over choosing
someone else. Cesc is a great player.
Conte
confirmed that David Luiz will make his debut, for a second time, at Stamford
Bridge against Liverpool on Friday, because John Terry is out with an ankle
injury. The Brazilian defender was a surprise £34million deadline day signing
from Paris Saint-Germain.
'John strained the ligaments of his ankle,' Conte said.
'The
doctor told me, after 10 days, he can come back. But the player is working,
working very hard. Today he had a training session to recover. Tomorrow David
Luiz will play for the first time with us, and we are confident about this.
