Antonio Conte admits he may rest key players for Tottenham's trip to Bournemouth... with the Italian boss already looking ahead to his side's Champions League 'final' against Marseille on Tuesday

Tottenham manager Antonio Conte has conceded he may have to rest players for Saturday's clash at Bournemouth due to next week's 'final' with Marseille carrying greater importance.

A dramatic Champions League fixture with Sporting Lisbon on Wednesday saw Spurs denied a late winner after Harry Kane's stoppage-time effort was ruled out for offside, which means they need a point in France on Tuesday to guarantee a place in the knock-out stage.

Cristian Romero is expected to be one of a handful of players 'protected' by the Italian, who knows they can make up for lost points domestically later in the campaign.
