Conte Ready To Rotate Squad Ahead Of Champions League Clash Against Qarabag.

Antonio Conte is ready to rotate his Chelsea squad ahead of Tuesday's Champions League match against Qarabag of Azerbaijan.

'It is necessary to rotate,' said the Chelsea manager. 'Seven games in 21 days is not easy.

'In the past, before a Champions League game I have rested players but in England it is very difficult to do this. You play a medium team and you can lose in the Premier League.

'You risk a lot but we are ready and for this reason we must rotate the squad. I trust all my players.

'We played two days ago and then in the Champions League and then against Arsenal on Sunday and then in the Carabou Cup and then two more games in the Premier League and then Atletico Madrid.

'There is the necessity to do rotation. Otherwise you arrive without energy. We play in a tough league and then two cups and we are starting to play the Champions League. To play 60-65 games at a high level is not easy.'
