Chelsea will be without their striker Alvaro Morata and Cesc Fabregas when they travel to Emirate on Wednesday night for the Carabao Cup semi-final second leg match. The crucial encounter is coming after both sides played a goalless draw at Stanford Bridge about two weeks ago. As important as the game is, Chelsea would be missing their two starters due to injury.
However, defender Andreas Christensen has been cleared to play, despite having been substituted at the weekend due to a head injury. Speaking to Sky Sports ahead of the Match, Chelsea Manager, Antonio Conte said;
"Morata and Fabregas are out, they are not available for the Arsenal game. Morata has a problem in his back. Then, I have to check a couple of situations, before making the best decision [on selection]."
"In my first season and a half I have the opportunity to win the league, to play the final of the FA Cup, and play the Community Shield. Now I have the opportunity to play another final in the Carabao Cup. I have these possibilities, to play many finals in this country. This is very important for me and my players.
"But to get there we have a big game. Arsenal, for sure, want to get there as well. In this case you have two games to reach the final and for this reason, after a 0-0 draw, for sure the game will be very open."
