Chelsea’s 2016-17 Naughty or Nice list

NAUGHTY – Oscar

Oscar had a chance to nail down a place in Conte’s plans at the start of the season, but the Brazilian international didn’t do anywhere near enough to justify a regular starting berth.

The 25-year-old contributed just one assist in five Premier League starts up to and including the 2-1 home defeat by Liverpool on September 16, and since then has played just 35 minutes of league action for the Blues.

Hazard’s great form and Pedro’s decent run in the side hasn’t made it easy for him to get back into the team, but Oscar didn’t show enough in the early stages to warrant a place upfront.

A move away in January is likely.
