Cesc Fabregas denies Antionio Conte is bombing him out of Chelsea with Instagram post

Cesc Fabregas has hit back at reports he is set to leave Chelsea with an Instagram post.

A report in The Sun claimed the Blues midfielder had been told he could find another club by new boss Antonio Conte, who apparently has concerns about Fabregas’ work rate.

But the former Arsenal man, who has been at Stamford Bridge since signing from Barcelona in 2014, took to social media to insist he was going nowhere.

In a post using a picture of Fabregas kissing the Premier League trophy the club won in 2015 under Jose Mourinho, he wrote: “Contrary to what has been written, the manager and I have a good relationship and he has NEVER told me that I can leave. He said that he counts on me, as I count on him. I will continue to fight for this club until the very end and when called upon I will always give my very best. I’m fully committed to @chelseafc and my only goal is to help them win more trophies. #ChelseaFC”

Fabregas has started just one match so far this season – the 3-2 win over Bristol Rovers in the League Cup on Tuesday.

He also came off the bench during Chelsea’s 2-1 win over Watford last week, but he has yet to start a Premier League game for Conte.
