Cesc Fabregas ready to prove his value to Chelsea boss Antonio Conte: 'When I don't play I'm sad... I need to show the manager I deserve to play'

Cesc Fabregas has pledged to prove his continued worth to Antonio Conte at Chelsea.

The Spaniard has found himself in and out of the team under the Blues' new boss, making a total of 16 appearances for the Italian in all competitions this term.

He has not started a match since the victory over Stoke on New Year's Eve but is fully focused on making himself and his manager happy - by forcing his way back into Conte's first-choice XI and helping Chelsea towards the Premier League title.
