Conte: Fabregas is our only healthy midfielder

Antonio Conte said Cesc Fabregas was his only strong midfielder. Chelsea`s manager will not be able to use the injured Hurricanes, Giulio Cante, Thieme Bakayoko, Danny Drinkwater and David Lewis for the match against Watford. The last two were training today, but they probably will not play tomorrow.

I can not tell you anything about the starting team against Watford right now. There are many questions. I hope some players will recover in the remaining 24 hours. The duel tomorrow will be very heavy because Watford is a good team and is in excellent position after the start of the season. We play home and after two losses in the league we want to win, said Conte. The Italian tried to explain the reasons for the hesitant start of the season, admitting that the team is performing less than expected: We lost big players. We have changed some players and are trying to repeat something important. We work 70% less than last season.

Funny is watching what interest you have to her.
