Conte doubts Victor Moses availability for City game

Antonio Conte is unsure whether Victor Moses will be fit to face Manchester City in the English Premier League on Wednesday.

The Nigerian missed Chelsea’s defeat to Crystal Palace on Saturday due to injury, will have his fitness evaluated before a decision is made on his availability for the crunch encounter against the Citizens.

”I don’t know if Victor will be able to play tomorrow [Wednesday],’’ said Conte during a pre-match conference.

‘We have another day to check the situation in the right way. We have a couple of situations to check and then make the best decision for the starting 11 tomorrow.’’

Moses, who has featured 27 times for the Stamford Bridge giants this term limped out during the Blues’ FA Cup quarter final clash against Manchester United with a minor calf problem.
