Chelsea’s boss Antonio Conte told his Chelsea
players to stop behaving like children as they returned to training after their
mini-break. The Italian issued a strong message to exert his
authority having granted his squad three days off following their crushing 4-1
defeat at Watford on Monday.
The Chelsea manager
addressed his players before a session in preparation for Monday's game against West Bromwich Albion, the first of three
vital home games.
Conte hopes defender
Andreas Christensen will be fit to face West Brom after missing the loss at
Watford with a hamstring injury.
But he admitted there
is no sign of £70million man Alvaro Morata returning from a mysterious back
problem, and the striker could miss the rest of the season.
'I don't know how long
he will be out,' said Conte. 'We are struggling to solve the pain in his back.
If you ask me whether he needs a day, a month or the rest of the season, I
don't know. For this reason, I am a bit worried.
'Players
like Morata, for us, are very important and have been missing for a long period
of time. We are talking a lot about bad results and forget we are facing a
serious situation.
