Conte gives update on Moses’ injury

Chelsea manager Antonio Conte has provided an update on Victor Moses injury after the 4-0 victory over West Brom on Saturday in the Premier League.

The Nigerian international limped out of Chelsea’s Premier League defeat to London rivals Crystal Palace on October 14, due to a hamstring injury has seen him miss seven games in all competitions.

Moses has been deputized by Davide Zappacosta and Cesar Azpilicueta, Chelsea has gone to win five games and one draw since his absence.

Conte has provided an update on the wing back suggesting that Moses could feature against Qarabag in the Champions League.

“This season we started with a lot of problems, [Eden] Hazard was one of them because he didn’t work during pre-season after surgery,” Conte said.

“Then he started to play with us after a few.

“Today the starting 11 was the same as against United. We played well in that game and we did again today but don’t forget we have to play a lot of games in a few days, so I need all of my players.

“Victor Moses is progressing well and I hope to have him back from tomorrow, for the game after Qarabag.

“It’s important to have all the senior players in good form without injuries.”
