Chelsea boss Antonio Conte admits Cesc Fabregas may be his only available midfielder for Saturday’s clash against Watford.

Tiemoue Bakayoko and David Luiz started alongside one another in Wednesday’s 3-3 draw against Roma but the pair both picked up knocks and are doubts to face the Hornets.

N’Golo Kante suffered a hamstring injury during the international break and faces a race against time to be fit for Chelsea’s clash with Manchester United on November 5th.

And Conte is downbeat about the chances of having any midfielders other than Fabregas fit for the visit of Marco Silva’s side.

‘Honestly at the moment I can tell nothing about the starting XI for tomorrow. Many doubts,’ said Conte.

‘I hope in these 24 hours to try to recover some players. It could be [Cesc is only one fit in midfield].

‘For sure tomorrow the game will be very tough because Watford is a good team and a good position in the table.

‘We play at home and after two defeats in the league we want to come back and win.’
