Antonio Conte highlights immediate concern about Chelsea January signing
Antonio Conte has admitted Ross Barkley is not ready to play for Chelsea
The England international still needs to adapt to the Blues’ game
Conte says there is otherwise no issue with Barkley’s fitness
The England international joined from Everton earlier this month and has been eased into the Chelsea team after missing the entire first half of the season through injury.
Still, Conte insists he has no issues over Barkley’s fitness after his return to training and that he is merely concerned that the player is not yet ready to slot in to his side’s way of playing.
‘My worry is not about his physical condition, but only to go into our idea of football, to understand the movement without the ball and with the ball,’ Conte is quoted in the Metro.
‘For this, he needs a bit of period to go into our idea of football. To understand this. My worry is not about his physical condition, but to get into our idea of football.’
