Conte happy with Chelsea in Victor Moses absence

Chelsea manager Antonio Conte has confirmed the availability of Victor Moses for tomorrow's game against Bournemouth after training with the team yesterday and today.

Moses missed Chelsea's last two matches against Crystal Palace and Manchester City but said he should be ready but went on to praise his players for their performance in the absence of the Nigerian wing-back.

He said: “Moses has showed to be an important player, against the two teams we showed that we can play without him.
“It is important, we are a team not 11 single players. If you think to win the game with just one player you are in trouble, if you have an idea of football and work as a team you must be ready to find the right solution.”


“I am pleased because it means every single player has our idea of football, it must be so.
“I train 20 players in the same way, not 12 or 13, because I know during the season anything can happen and you must have players ready to play this football.
“I think Zouma showed this in a tough game and show great commitment.”
