Chelsea boss Antonio Conte insists he regards highly Cesc Fabregas.
Conte has learned to appreciate the former Arsenal and Barcelona star even more because of the way he's handled his limited role.
He said: “Cesc is showing he has a great impact for us. I hope to finish the season in the right way and to try to win (trophies). But for sure Cesc has shown himself to be a great professional but, above all, a great player.
"I'm very pleased to see that in him, his commitment and work-rate. This season he faced a new situation.
"In the past, Cesc has always played every single game. It's not easy to change. But, for sure, Cesc showed me that he is not only a great player but a great person.
"I think, this season, he has improved a lot in all aspects and, for me, he is a really, really important player."
