Conte provides update on fitness of Super Eagles star Victor Moses

Chelsea coach Antonio Conte has provided an update on the fitness of Nigeria international Victor Moses, ahead of the Premier League tie with Crystal Palace at Stamford Bridge on Saturday afternoon.

The winger had to withdraw from the Nigeria squad during the international break because he had not sufficiently recovered from the calf injury he sustained against Manchester United.

Though Conte did not mention names, reporters at Friday’s press conference were specific and asked him about the injury update on Costa, Courtois, Moses and Terry.

Conte replied : “It is important to check two or three situations and then to make the best decisions.

“This week wasn’t easy to work because some have come back with some problems and it is proper now to check and wait and decide tomorrow.

“I have two or three situations.”

Moses has started the last 22 games contested by Chelsea in the English top-flight, including the 2-1 win at Stoke City, where he had to play through the pain barrier.
