Ray Wilkins has hit out Antonio Conte's plans to rotate his players for Chelsea's Champions League clash with Qarabag at Stamford Bridge.

Conte confirmed in his pre-match press conference he is ready to leave out a number of his star men, including Eden Hazard and Alvaro Morata, for the opening group stage game against the Azerbaijani side.

The Italian insists he has no choice but to make changes in a bid to keep his squad fresh, with Tuesday night's European fixture the second of seven games in just 21 days for the Blues.
