The Chelsea Coach, Antonio Conte claims that Chelsea's lustreless performance in their 0-0 draw with Leicester at Stamford Bridge was because of his player's tiredness.
After Chelsea played and tallied with Arsenal in the Carabao Cup semi-finals on Wednesday night, the home side struggled to remain in the game and were lucky enough after Leicester created several good chances as they didn't utilize any.
Conte said: “Everyone is frustrated after another 0-0. We played the game against Arsenal on Wednesday night and didn’t have a lot of time to recover.
“I saw many players were very tired and they didn’t recover from the Arsenal game. But at the same time I saw great will and desire to win the game.
“When you play every three days you have to make rotation. We did this. In the FA Cup we played with one team, in the Carabao Cup we played another team, and today we played almost the same team as Wednesday. But to play in this busy period is not simple and you must have a big squad to face all competitions.”
Asked whether his squad is big enough, Conte said: “My answer is always the same. I am a coach and I give my opinion to the club and the club then see and make the best decision to the team.”
