Antonio Conte has hinted that hos team may have a very different look than usual when Chelsea arrive at the London Stadium tomorrow (Sat)
David Luis ( knee and England international Danny Drinkwater (fever) have already been ruled out for the televised clash
And Conte admitted. “I try to protect every player. When you play every three days it’s very difficult, impossible even to keep your form at the best level if you play without training sessions.
Your form can go up and down. This can be dangerous.
“Also, the risk of injury is very high. I will try to rotate my players. Our squad is not so big, but I am giving my players the chance to show me they deserve to play. When I did this I received a good response from my players.”
The game willgo ahead on Sky Sports Mix and will kick off at 12.30.
