- Antonio Conte is reportedly in battle with some players at Chelsea

- The report stated that some Chelsea players are livid with Conte's training methods

- Many players are also said to have complained of fatigue

Embattled Chelsea manager Antonio Conte is currently swimming in the water of severe criticism following his wards' lackluster performance in the Premier League.

But despite the Blues' recent unimpressive show in the Premier League in which they have lost their last two games, Chelsea chiefs are not thinking that Conte facing the exit doors should be the next panacea.

Chelsea are still campaigning in the FA Cup and the UEFA Champions League, but it will be difficult for the Blues to retain their Premier League title this season as they are currently 19 points behind Manchester City.

However, Daily Mail claim that the former Juventus coach is currently facing a battle to appease some unhappy stars who have grown tired of his methods at Stamford Bridge.

The report stated that some Chelsea players find Conte's training regime repetitive and monotonous in which players are also said to have blamed the tension at the club's Cobham HQ on Conte's bad moods.

Chelsea players are also said to have privately complained of fatigue therefore blaming the manager's intense training schedule.

Antonio Conte has however responded by giving his players three days off to rest in which they will resume on Friday, February 9.

Earlier, NAIJ.com had reported how Chelsea manager Antonio Conte gave his players three days off to rest and rediscover the rhythm that helped them to win the Premier League title last season.

Chelsea lost their second game in a row on Monday night, February 5, at Watford in an embarrassing 4-1 defeat and have conceded seven goals in less than a week.

The former Juventus handler is said to have admitted that his wards need some rest considering the fact that they were recently engaged with games every three days.
