Chelsea boss Conte urges Loftus-Cheek, Abraham to use Christensen as inspiration

Chelsea boss Antonio Conte has urged Tammy Abraham and Ruben Loftus-Cheek to use Andreas Christensen as an inspiration.

On-loan Swansea striker Abraham and Crystal Palace midfielder Loftus-Cheek are both impressing away from Chelsea this season.

Conte continues to highlight the example of Christensen who has gone through that stage and is now giving the Italian a selection decision to be made in defence for today's game.

"I hope to have this type of difficulty, I hope in every game to have this type of problem," Conte pointed out.

"It means I have all my players in good form and I must be very happy. For sure, every game I must try to make the best decision for the team. Christensen played a really good game against Man United, in a big game, and he is showing great maturity. I am happy to have this type of problem also because there are a lot of fixtures from now until the end of December."
