Antonio Conte is ready to become the first Tottenham boss to drop the club’s ‘undroppable’ stars Harry Kane and Son Heung-min, as the manager looks at how to handle seven games in 21 days.
Kane has long been a non-negotiable in Tottenham’s starting line-up, but Conte yesterday said he is not a ‘magician’ who can make it possible for one player to start all seven.
Rotation will be key to remaining competitive, according to the manager, with summer signings such as Richarlison making it possible for him to rest stars like Kane and Son when needed.
