Antonio Conte faces crisis as Chelsea stars turn against him
Chelsea players are turning on Antonio Conte due to his intense training schedule and believe he is at fault for harming their title defence and for players picking up injuries this season, reports claim.
Chelsea have lost their past two Premier League matches and are already nine points adrift of leaders Manchester City, having suffered defeats to Pep Guardiola’s side and bottom side Crystal Palace.
A late Eden Hazard header against Roma saw Chelsea narroly avoid three straight defeats but injuries to David Luiz and Tiemoue Bakayoko only added to the sense of crisis.
N’Golo Kante and Victor Moses already out for several weeks and Alvaro Morata only just returning, the injury problems just keep mounting for the Italian. And Chelsea stars are begging him to tweak his training schedule in order to allow them more rest to avoid injury, according to the report
