Fabregas on Kean and the squad
Cesc Fabregas said Moise Kean will be sidelined for another five weeks as he undergoes specialist treatment on a shin injury. Fabregas said the injury happened while Kean was on duty with the Italy national team.
Fabregas said: "We didn’t buy an injured player. It’s a new situation that’s come up during the season. I don’t want to blame anyone, everyone can interpret it as they want. I have my opinion, I’m not here to make controversy. Now we have to manage what’s happened and we have to do what’s best for him as a club, that’s the most important thing."
Fabregas confirmed that Mattia Liberali will be back, while Assane Diao was not training with the team and Como were unable to count on him.
Fabregas on Venezia
Fabregas said: "I hope for a victory as always. We want to go and win games. Venezia is a team whose points in the standings don’t represent what we’ve seen on the pitch. They’ve given teams like Lazio, Fiorentina, Napoli and Inter a lot of trouble. Those big teams have gone to Venezia and suffered."
