Chelsea striker Michy Batshuayi has been told that he does have a place in Maurizio Sarri’s plans this season.
According to reports in France from RMC, as cited by Get French Football, Sarri has spoken to the Belgian forward about what he expects of him this season.
There had been some concern that the striker could be moved on this summer after falling out of favour at the Bridge last season.
With Antonio Conte unable to trust the striker to start games in the Premier League, he joined Borussia Dortmund on loan in the second half of the season.
Batshuayi thrived in the Bundesliga and an impressive stint with Dortmund saw him earn a place in the Belgium World Cup squad before injury cut his campaign short.
The striker is now expected to compete with Alvaro Morata for a starting place in Sarri’s side.
The former has struggled during pre-season and is coming off the back of a difficult first campaign for the Blues.
