Conte should give these 3 Chelsea players a chance against Leicester

Nathan Ake

Chelsea recalled defender Nathan Ake from his loan spell at Bournemouth on Sunday, so it’s clear that Conte sees him in his first team plans for the rest of the campaign.

The 21-year-old was excellent for the Cherries during his six-month spell at the Vitality Stadium, and played in a variety of positions in Eddie Howe’s side.

However, The Evening Standard believe that Ake has been recalled because of concerns about Marcos Alonso’s fitness, so Conte may be tempted to draft Ake into the starting eleven at Leicester.

They reckon that Alonso’s muscular injury in his leg is worsening, so he needs time to rest and recover from it, which should allow Ake a run in the first team.

That run could start at the King Power Stadium on Saturday.
