trouble with resting Kane is who will put the passes in ? we have no one else who see's passes
Kane could do with a rest or subbed early (that is how Counteshould be using the 5 sub rule)
Slightly sad that we only have one creative passer and he's actually a striker....nick CE back from utd or get madison....
 
Under Conte's 3-4-3 a creative passer would need to be L/R WB as CM's need to be powerguys, If he went to 3 CM's we could have CE or Madison etc
 
Reading Conte's words in the Press Conference, he will wherever possible continue to play his first choice rather than Rotate. So expect to see Lloris, Dier, Hojbjerg, Bentancur & Kane all the time. No Kula and Is Richarlison fit to start and play 90 mins after knee injury? I would not start him and he is not a Conte favourite and so may not be risked.
Lloris
Romero, Dier, Davies
Doherty, Hojbjerg, Bissouma, Bentancur, Perisic
Kane, Son
4 changes but Richarlison to come on early if we need goals in 2nd half.
Players in the past when fixture congestion happened did play lots of matches but it was noticeable the performance dropped. That is the problem of not rotating.
 
Maybe when he's on the field with Sonny it hurts him because he doesn't get as many touches?

A bit unclear if this is a different injury. A 'knock' doesn’t sound like aggravation of a muscle/hamstring problem. On the other hand, the fact they are doing another MRI scan makes me think it's the same injury. Because they don't usually scan immediately for impact injuries (a 'knock'), they wait for swelling to reduce.

Either way doesn't sound great, and I don't imagine we'll see him for the Utd game now.
