Conte reassures Oscar, Fabregas over Chelsea future

Chelsea coach Antonio Conte says Cesc Fabregas and Oscar have a future at Stamford Bridge.

The Spanish and Brazilian playmakers have been peripheral figures at Chelsea this season, with Conte masterminding a steep upturn in form by reverting to a 3-4-3 formation in which both players do not appear to have an obvious role.

Fabregas has been grappling with a thigh injury since making a solitary Premier League start this season in the 3-0 defeat at Arsenal.

Conte's switch to the system that served him so well with Juventus and Italy came after that match, with five wins from five Premier League matches and no goals conceded as a result.
