Pedro suffered multiple fractures - Conte

By Daily Sports on July 25, 2017

Chelsea boss Antonio Conte said on Monday that forward Pedro sustained "multiple fractures" to his face after colliding with Arsenal goalkeeper David Ospina.

The 29-year-old Spaniard was taken to hospital with a bloodied face after Ospina flew into him while clearing a ball with two fists during the Blues’ 3-0 pre-season win over their London rivals in Beijing on Saturday.

Pedro spent the night in a Beijing hospital and returned to London the following day.Speaking to media in Singapore ahead of a friendly with Bayern Munich on Tuesday, Conte said: “The situation was more serious because I hoped that it would only be a concussion."

Instead he had multiple fractures and I think with a mask in 10 days, he could come back to work for us.

"Conte said there was no ill-feeling towards Ospina."

Absolutely no, because I was a player, I know these accidental (challenges) could happen," said Conte. © AFP
