Chelsea news: Antonio Conte provides Victor Moses injury update ahead of Man Utd clash
CHELSEA star Victor Moses will not return to action against Manchester United.
Victor Moses' reaction to Zappacosta's wonder goal
That's what Antonio Conte has confirmed ahead of Sunday's Premier League showdown with Jose Mourinho's Red Devils.
Moses has been out of action since hobbling out of Chelsea's 2-1 defeat to Crystal Palace on October 14.
The hamstring injury suffered at Selhurst Park saw him miss two Champions League ties against Roma, as well as domestic encounters with Watford, Everton and Bournemouth.
Moses posted a video of himself exercising in a pool earlier this week captioned: "Putting the work in will be back soon!"
No, zero chance
Conte says the United fixture has come too soon for the Nigeria international to make his comeback though.
Asked if Moses could feature on Sunday, Conte said: "No, zero chance.
"It was a bad muscular problem. We must wait and have patience, he needs more time to recover."

Chelsea sit fourth going into the United clash having collected 19 points from their opening 10 games.
They can leapfrog London rivals Tottenham into third providing they beat United and Spurs fail to win against Palace.
Chelsea's chances of catching Premier League leaders Manchester City can be boosted if Arsenal beat them on Sunday.
