Michy Batshuayi takes a dig at Antonio Conte

The Belgian striker, 24, has questioned how closely Conte watched his Blues performances before shipping him out to Dortmund on loan.

Bengaluru, February 18: Belgian international striker Michy Batshuayi has taken a swipe at Antonio Conte over his a lack of game time at Chelsea.

The 24-year-old is currently on loan at Borussia Dortmund from Chelsea and has been brilliant since he joined the BVB and has already scored five times in his first three games and once again, Chelsea's poor management of players has come under question.

The Belgian striker, 24, has questioned how closely Conte watched his Blues performances before shipping him out to Dortmund on loan.

The Belgian struggled since joining Blues for £33m in July 2016 and made just three Premier League starts this season.

After scoring twice in the Germans 3-2 Europa League win over Atalanta, he said: "I don’t know if Conte was watching my game.

"Sitting on the bench, score a goal and then back to the bench is quite difficult to deal with for an attacker.

"It wasn’t always easy at Chelsea.

"I’m now playing with a lot of confidence.

"They are focusing on the Premier League and have an important Champions League tie next week.

"I hope it turns out well for them."

Batshuayi had scored 12 goals for Chelsea this season before joining Dortmund on loan and it was indeed an impressive figure from him considering the amount of gametime he had.

Alvaro Morata, despite being a starter ahead of him, has scored just 12 goals as well.

Chelsea have signed Olivier Giroud from Arsenal as a replacement of Batshuayi and the Frenchman has been quite impressive as well for the Blues but Batshuayi's frustration is quite understandable.
