While Conte confirmed that the Nigerian will be in the squad tomorrow to face Liverpool, another one of his former clubs, he stopped short of saying he’d be in the team, and in reality the caution in his words indicates that he’s likely to start on the bench, with Davide Zappacosta holding on to the first team spot down the right for at least one more game.
