Chelsea manager, Antonio Conte has revealed why he benched three of his star players on Wednesday’s FA Cup home clash against Norwich City.
Conte sidelined forward, Eden Hazard, striker, Alvaro Morata and midfielder, N’Golo Kante.
The Blues boss said he had no choice but to rest a number of his star players.
The Premier League champions were held to a goalless draw at Carrow Road earlier in the month as Championship side, Norwich forced a replay.
Asked why he did not decide to start a number of his first-team players, Conte told BBC before the match: “For sure we don’t have another way. We don’t have another possibility, I think this is the right way, I trust my players. We want to try to win and go to the next round.”
“We are conceding less than in the past but we are not scoring a lot, for sure we have to improve the quality in our finishing,” Conte said.
