Cesc Fabregas will be absent for Chelsea's Premier League clash against Arsenal at Stamford Bridge on Saturday, but loan signing Mateo Kovacic could make his debut from the bench, manager Maurizo Sarri has confirmed.
Per Oliver Harbord of Football.London, in his pre-match press conference the Italian manager also insisted that Eden Hazard will remain at Chelsea for 2018-19 despite being linked with a move: "I have spoken to him often in 10 days, but he has never said anything about this. I am sure Eden will be with us this season."
