Chelsea manager Antonio Conte is set to give young striker Tammy Abraham some first-team responsibilities next season.

The Daily Mirror is reporting that the Blues boss could hand some opportunities to the 19-year-old in 2017/18.

Abraham has starred while on loan in the Championship with Bristol City, scoring 18 league goals for a total of 21 in 38 matches in all competitions.

As doubts continue regarding Michy Batshuayi, it is understood that Conte is ready to throw Abraham into the fray next term after showing he can perform at senior level.

Abraham is currently back with parent club Chelsea as he recovers from a thigh injury he sustained about a week ago.
