Chelsea boss Conte: I'm pleased for Cesc

Chelsea boss Antonio Conte praised Cesc Fabregas after their win at Manchester City.

He saw his team come from behind at the break to eventually run out 3-1 winners at the Etihad, the goals scored by Diego Costa, Willian and Eden Hazard.

Conte said, "I'm pleased for Cesc above all because this game wasn't easy for him. The last game he played for Chelsea in the line-up was against Arsenal, and then he had an injury. He recovered and I'm very happy for his performance.

"He must continue to improve. For me to have more options is good. It's important to have the whole squad available."
