'Really tired': Antonio Conte fears for Harry Kane after Tottenham's Carabao Cup exit – video
Antonio Conte explained Tottenham's poor team performance and energy levels due to fatigued players after his side lost 2-0 to Nottingham Forest.
Conte warned that Harry Kane is so fatigued he had to stop training to rest on the eve of Tottenham’s defeat, despite it being a 'soft training' session. He said he had no alternative but to field Kane, who is not injured, as he had no other fit striker but admitted that it was 'difficult' for the England captain.
With the World Cup looming, the Spurs manager said that many players would have been 'selfish' and protected themselves and he called Kane a 'good man' for putting the team first
