Conte ponders benching Moses for Zapacoster

By Augustine Akhilomen

Chelsea manager, Antonio Conte is considering leaving Super Eagles winger, Victor Moses on the bench due to his recent drop of form for the Blues in the Premier League.

Moses who was substituted in the second half for Davide Zappacosta in Chelsea’s 2-2 draw against Arsenal in Wednesday’s Premier League London derby clash, has failed to raise the level of his game in two consecutive games, of which he was substituted for the Italian defender.

It will be recalled that the introduction of Zappacosta led to the Blues second goal as he created the assist that saw Marcos Alonso tap home the ball with ease past Arsenal goalkeeper, Petr Cech.

The Nigerian international was a main-stay in Conte’s 3-4-3 formation that help Chelsea lift their fourth Premier League title last season and his position could be under risk if he continues to underperform in subsequent matches.
