Chelsea boss Antonio Conte has assured Cesc Fabregas he'll see more action next season.

Cesc started much of last term on the bench and the addition of £40 million Monaco midfielder Tiemoue Bakayoko – likely to start alongside NGolo Kante – has left his future up in the air.

But Conte, who yesterday signed a new two-year deal at Chelsea, has spoken to Fabregas to reassure him he will play more regularly next time around, says the London Evening Standard.

The Italian even reportedly admitted to Fabregas, 30, that he should have featured more often for him last campaign.
