Spurs boss Conte may rest all his World Cup stars

BBC Online :
Tottenham manager Antonio Conte has suggested he will only select players who were not involved in the World Cup for his side’s Boxing Day match at Brentford.
The Premier League resumes today, just eight days after the World Cup final in Qatar.
Conte has already said his players who were involved in the final – France’s Hugo Lloris and Argentina’s Cristian Romero – will not face the Bees. “I am not really happy,” Conte said.
“In one hand, you are happy because for my club, Tottenham, to have 12 players at the World Cup it means that we are in the right way to try to be competitive and to try to win something.
“But it is normal that when you have so many players play a tournament like this, especially during the season, that now it is not easy because the physical condition is not at the top.”
