FA Cup: Conte confirms three major injury blows for Chelsea

Chelsea urged to sign Edin Dzeko ahead of alternative options

Chelsea urged to sign Edin Dzeko ahead of alternative options

Here's some of what the Italian had to say.

Goalkeeper: Thibaut Courtois has been ruled out once again after failing to recover from an ankle injury so Willy Caballero is expected to continue between the sticks.

"But Cesc Fabregas trained today [Friday] and tomorrow I will check his physical condition".

"Willian is out. Today with the doctor he had a scan to evaluate his injury, but I don't think we're talking about a serious injury".

Conte reaffirmed that he is happy at the club and with his squad despite claiming transfer business is out of his hands.

"It is not simple for sure, it is not simple but people who know me very well they know that I live this job with great passion, with great love and for this reason sometimes I don't sleep", Conte said.

"I don't need anything, I'm a coach and I continue with my players".

The former Real Madrid and Juventus forward has 10 goals in 20 Premier League appearances this season but hasn't scored since Boxing Day against Brighton.

"I am not anxious".

Also last season we faced this situation in the same way. "From the summer, the club decides every single player".

"But if we want to accelerate this process then he needs to play, especially in this situation with injuries to players like Willian".

"As you know, after a bad injury you need a bit of time to be fit 100%".

He has wanted to go after top, proven global frontmen, but the club are apprehensive about giving him much cash. "He is available on Sunday".

He said: "Every competition is important, we lost against Arsenal and now there is another competition".

The Blues are bidding to return to winning ways after they were dumped out of the League Cup by Arsenal in midweek.

Eden Hazard was deployed in a "false 9" role against Arsenal but we could see Michy Batshuayi recalled up front with Hazard dropping back in to a more natural attacking role. We conceded two unlucky goals - two deflections are very hard to see during a game. We will try to go to the next round but there is an opponent who has the same idea. "In this situation is more hard for the coach, not the players they love to play and not have training sessions".
