Fabregas denies crisis talk but concedes Chelsea's Premier League title hopes are over

The Blues midfielder believes that some of the criticism and speculation surrounding the manager's exit has been over-the-top

Cesc Fabregas has denied that Chelsea are in 'crisis' ahead of their Champions League clash with Barcelona, claiming his team-mates are ignoring the current negativity aimed towards the club.

Antonio Conte faced speculation that he was to lose his job following Chelsea's 4-1 defeat to Watford at Vicarage Road earlier this month, days after losing 3-0 to Bournemouth at Stamford Bridge.

However, despite that being just the latest week in a long line of rumours around the head coach's future, Fabregas believes that his side's season hasn't been that bad.
