Chelsea vs Tottenham: Mikel and Terry out with Injury.

Chelsea welcome Tottenham to west London sitting one point clear at the top of the table but things are tight as fifth-placed Tottenham are just four points behind so it’s all to play for at the Bridge this weekend. 

Conte told Chelseafc.com:

‘John Terry and Obi Mikel are not available,’

‘John has a muscular problem in his gluteus, and he will be out for maybe two or three weeks, I don’t know. It’s a pity because he recovered very well from his last injury and now he needs to stop again.

‘Obi is recovering from a muscular problem and in the next week he will train with us.’

Willian is available again having sat out our most recent victory at Middlesbrough.

‘Willian has come back and now it’s important for him to find good form. In this period, he was unlucky, you know why, and now it’s important to focus on his work and find continuity in the training sessions. Willi is an important player for us and I count on him a lot.’

‘I saw great attitude and great commitment [from Zouma]. I like this type of game because there is great intensity like in the first team. If there is the possibility and the players ask me to play this type of game, then I’m happy.

‘Kurt is working with us, with great continuity. Now it’s of fundamental importance to find good form and go into our idea of football. I am pleased with this because I am seeing, day-by-day, great improvement for Kurt.’
