Chelsea roundup: Conte hails the youngster, double injury boost and more interesting stories! 1

Antonio Conte has hailed on-loan Bristol City striker Tammy Abraham as “the future for Chelsea”. Abraham has been in sensational form in the Championship since moving to Bristol City as part of his development.

The 19-year old has so far managed 11 goals in 17 appearances for Bristol City this season and will look to continue his good form which will help him break into the starting lineup at Chelsea.

“Abraham is another young player who is the future for Chelsea, for sure,” Conte said. “He’s very young. I saw him only one week during the preseason in America.

“Then we decided to send him to play every game and get experience, then come back for us. He has great potential in the technical and physical aspects.

“I think the academy is working very well. Also in my squad we have Chalobah, Aina, Solanke, Loftus-Cheek. You can see the future and it’s good.”
