Conte confirms that Pedro has multiple fractures in his face
The Chelsea manager confirmed that the player will be unable to train with the squad for 10 days
The Canary Islander will fly back to London for further medical assessment
The Chelsea manager Antonio Conte has confirmed that the injury suffered by Pedro Rodríguez in a collision with David Ospina in Chelsea’s friendly against Arsenal, which initially seemed to be a simple concussion, is more serious than thought.
According to Conte, Pedro has “multiple fractures” in his face. The forward spent the night in a Beijing hospital following the incident as a precaution and will now return to London for further medical evaluation.
Conte confirmed the player will not be able to train for 10 days and must wear a protective mask when he returns. Wearing a mask is becoming a bit of a habit for Chelsea players - Terry, Cech, Cesc Fàbregas and Fernando Torres have done so in recent years.
