Chelsea’s players are unhappy about Antonio Conte’s training schedule, according to leaks featured on the back page of today’s Times.
The revelations come on the back of a disappointing stretch that has seen the Blues go three games without a win, with players looking off the pace in recent games against Roma and Crystal Palace.

The revelations come from deputy football correspondent Matt Hughes, who says that the players think that the manager’s famously intense sessions are behind the burnout they are facing at the moment, and behind the spate of injuries that has seen David Luiz and Tiemoue Bakayoko added to a list that is growing longer faster than it’s growing shorter.
The good news is that Hughes says the players are not yet totally alienated from the coach, but it’s a worrying echo of the 2015 season that Chelsea fans have been dreading ever since this tricky run of results began.
