These 3 Chelsea stars are fighting for their futures at Stamford Bridge

Michy Batshuayi

Manager Conte is clearly not convinced by the capabilities of striker Michy Batshuayi, so the Belgian international has a fair bit of work to do between now and May to convince the Chelsea boss otherwise.

The 23-year-old moved to Stamford Bridge last summer from Marseille, but has yet to start a Premier League game, instead coming off the bench 16 times over the course of the campaign.

It was telling when Diego Costa was suspended for their home game against Bournemouth that Batshuayi wasn’t favoured ahead of Pedro, despite the striker netting four goals in five cup games for the Blues this term.

Whether he gets many starts between now and May remains to be seen, but it’s clear that he must prove his worth to Conte otherwise his Chelsea career could be over before it’s really began.
