Chelsea stars aren't happy with Antonio Conte

That’s according to The Times who say Stamford Bridge stars are frustrated with the Italian’s training schedule.

It’s suggested the Italian chief has kept a similar routine to last term.

There reportedly remains a heavy emphasis on physically demanding sessions with lots of tactical meetings and minimal days off.

However, with Chelsea strutting their stuff in the Champions League the players are feeling the strain.

The Times reckon the strenuous regime could have contributed to the Blues’ injury woes.

N'Golo Kante, Victor Moses, David Luiz and Tiemoue Bakayoko are all spending time on the treatment table.

Chelsea’s players are reportedly still supportive of the former Juventus boss - although they do want him to tweak his methods.

Former Premier League star Craig Bellamy says Chelsea’s injury list is a big concern at the moment and Conte is to blame.

"The team won the league last year and they had no Champions League or Europe so they could just concentrate on the league," he told Sky Sports show, The Debate.

"But I'm concerned about the injuries they're getting. They've had a lot of hamstring injuries.

"A lot of these players play a lot of international football, of course they do.

"But maybe his training at times? I know he [Conte] likes to do a lot of double sessions.

"As well as playing two games a week, it's very difficult and you're going to pick up injuries during that period."

Chelsea could only manage a 3-3 draw with Roma in the Champions League on Wednesday.

They face Watford at Stamford Bridge tomorrow.
