Antonio Conte sends complaint to the Chelsea board

Antonio Conte has sent a clear message to the Chelsea bosses urging them to get help in the final week of the transfer window,

Conte has put forth his complaint claiming he cannot defend the Premier League title with just 11 players.

Conte has added Alvaro Morata, Tiemoue Bakayoko and Antonio Rudiger to his ranks but the departures of Nemanja Matic, Nathan Ake and John Terry, as well as a host of youngsters, means he is still short of numbers.

Conte said: ‘I hope after the international break to have the whole team.

‘We play seven games in a month, and I need to rotate players. If someone is thinking that I can use only 11 players or 13 players, it’s impossible. Impossible.

‘I have to rotate. We must be ready to face this situation.

‘We are trying to strengthen our squad and, if we are in the transfer market, that means we need to improve the squad.’
