Tottenham Hotspur manager Antonio Conte has sent a message to Daniel Levy over his squad.
Spurs were eliminated from the Carabao Cup by Chelsea on Wednesday night, going 3-0 across the two semi-final legs.
Conte cut a frustrated figure after the game and admitted he was in trouble with his squad heading into the north London derby against Arsenal this weekend.
“At the end of the two games Chelsea deserved to reach the final in this competition, we have to be honest,” Conte said.
“In the second half we created many chances to score and we deserved a result better than losing 1-0 but if you have a judgement over the two games Chelsea deserved to win.”
On the game against Arsenal, he added: “We have to recover some players. When we lose one, two or three players we’re in a bit of trouble.”
