Conte confirms two Chelsea stars to miss clash against Arsenal.
Antonio Conte has confirmed Eden Hazard and Tiemoue Bakayoko will miss Sunday’s Community Shield clash with Arsenal.
The Blues were just handed a boost with Pedro returning to training today, however, Chelsea boss Antonio Conte has now confirmed Eden Hazard and new signing Tiemoue Bakayoko are unavailable for their upcoming clash against Arsenal.
Conte said: “Only two players, Eden Hazard and Bakayoko [aren’t available].
“They are working to be available soon. For the first PL match? No. There are recovering very well but they are not still ready to start the season.
“You know very well about Eden, an ankle problem, after a surgery it is right to respect the time needed.
“Same for Bakayoko, surgery in his knee, they are hoping to recover very well.”
