Antonio Conte has hinted that defender Matt Miazga could leave Chelsea this summer on loan.

Miazga faces competition from John Terry, Gary Cahill, Kurt Zouma and Branislav Ivanovic for a place in the center of Chelsea's defense.

Miazga joined Chelsea from the New York Red Bulls in January for £3.5 million.

"I think in this moment it is good if he plays to improve, to go and get experience to improve," the Italian said. "You can improve only if you play.

"You play every game or a lot of games during the season. But he is a good guy and I am very happy about him.

"Miazga is a young player, he has a good technique and I think that he is working very well under the physical aspect, but the tactical aspect he can improve a lot and I think that he is improving with the work."
