Chelsea will face Norwich City in the FA Cup without two stars Cesc Fabregas and Gary Cahill, due to injury.
The duo will miss the Blues FA Cup replay against Norwich after picking up injuries in the last few days. Cahill was substituted in Chelsea’s game against Leicester City last weekend after he picked up a hamstring injury but Conte confirms the problem is not a serious one.
For Fabregas, he has reported a ‘little problem’ in Chelsea’s training apparently, and will not make the squad to face Norwich at Stamford Bridge.
Conte on injuries: "Cahill but it is not serious. Cesc has a little problem in his hamstring and is not available for tomorrow" #CFC

The Premier League champions failed to score in their game against the Canaries in the reverse fixture and were forced to enter a replay with their third round opponents.
Several of Chelsea’s stars may be rested ahead of their Premier League fixture with Brighton and Hove Albion but Michy Batshuayi, constantly in the news these days due to his links with Sevilla in a possible loan move, will start the game according to Conte.
Conte on Batshuayi loan [Sevilla]: "He is Chelsea's player. He is in our squad and tomorrow he has to play. Then I think this is the truth until now, he is a Chelsea player. He is having the possibility to show he deserves to play for Chelsea" #CFC
