Conte should give these 3 Chelsea stars a chance against Bournemouth

Nathan Ake

Cesar Azpilicueta is reportedly playing with a broken bone in his hand, and although he came through unscathed against Manchester City on Wednesday, it remains to be seen whether Conte risks him on the South Coast.

Thus, it could mean that Nathan Ake, on loan at Bournemouth for the first half of the campaign, may make his first Premier League start of the campaign for Chelsea at the Vitality Stadium.

The 22-year-old was excellent for the Cherries before being recalled by manager Conte in January, although he has yet to appear for the Blues since then.

However, Ake proved to be a quality player at this level with Bournemouth earlier in the campaign, and should Conte decide against starting Azpilicueta, he could get the nod on Saturday.
