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
