ROBERTO Di Matteo says Victor Moses is a great prospect for Chelsea, but is far from being the finished article.
Moses, who scored Blues goal in their 1-1 draw with Swansea last Saturday, is in the frame for a starting place against Shakhtar Donetsk on Wednesday – due a Juan Mata's hamstring injury.
Di Matteo said of Moses: "He played midweek and was terrific. He got another start (at Swansea) – he's still a very young player, but he's coming along very nicely.
"He's got tricks, he's very good in one-v-ones, he's got pace, he's got timing as well, and he's becoming more aware of where to find the paces and where to go.
"So over time I think he'll be a big, big asset for us."
But despite Moses' ability, Chelsea looked under-strength at The Liberty Stadium – and many will be hoping Mata can return for the game against the present leaders of Chelsea's Champions League group.
Asked if the Spaniard will return for Wednesday's match, Di Matteo said simply: "I really hope so."
