NEWS… BUT NOT AS YOU KNOW IT
Antonio Conte says Harry Kane was taken off because of ‘fatigue’ after Tottenham crashed out of the EFL Cup at the first hurdle.
Spurs suffered a 2-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest in their third round clash On Wednesday with Jesse Lingard scoring once and providing the assist for the other at the City Ground.
Conte resisted the urge to make major changes and fielded a strong side that included England captain Kane.
His inclusion from the start raised eyebrows with Gareth Southgate set to name his England squad for the World Cup in Qatar on Thursday.
