I’m ready to step up for Chelsea –Fabregas

Fabregas has been on the fringes of new manager Antonio Conte’s Chelsea side since the start of the season, having made just three league appearances from the bench. Making his second start in all competitions this season, Cesc struck twice in the space of two minutes as Chelsea rallied from two goals down to beat 10-man Leicester 4-2.

The 29-year-old Spaniard said that he is focusing on playing well and when he has the chance, he will show what he can do, because he knows what he can do and it’s a lot for the team,” Fabregas stated.

Meanwhile, Chelsea manager, Antonio Conte, who last week said Fabregas needed to improve defensively to earn a first-team place, praised the midfielder’s tactical awareness after the game on Tuesday.

“Cesc is an intelligent player, a clever player and he sees the game, he feels the situation. I’m pleased for him, because in the games when he didn’t start in the line-up he always had a great attitude,” Conte said.
