Swansea vs. Chelsea: Antonio Conte's Key Pre-Match Press Conference Quotes

Chelsea manager Antonio Conte has said summer signings David Luiz and Marcos Alonso can improve his squad, although it's unlikely either player will start in Sunday's Premier League clash at Swansea City.

The Blues boss suggested his two late defensive signings are good assets to the team, per Chelsea's official Twitter account, but it will take time for the pair to adapt to his philosophies, per Goal's Nizaar Kinsella:

Conte won't start Luiz! "I think the new players need a bit of time to work with a new method of football" #CFC #Chelsea

The former Juventus and Italy coach detailed Luiz will play in central defence, because that's the area in which he needed resources this summer.
