CONTE WARNS BATSHUAYI

Antonio Conte has told Michy Batshuayi he is not guaranteed a starting spot in spite of Alvaro Morata’s injury.

Morata picked up an injury in Chelsea’s 1-0 defeat to Manchester City before the international week but, instead of making a like-for-like substitution for Batshuayi, Conte opted to bring on Willian instead.

And the Chelsea boss admits the Belgium international may have to get used to that in the future.

“Last season we played two games with Hazard as a No.9, with Willian and Pedro.

“If I see a game where this is the solution I am ready to do that again but Michy is deserving to have opportunities to show he can play.”
