We are faced with injuries\u2026 This is the moment you understand who are title contenders and teams competing for Champions League positions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When asked about which players are unavailable, Conte opted to keep his cards close to his chest, saying he did not want to give Arsenal an advantage.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have to wait till tomorrow to check some players because they have returned from their national teams with some physical problems. Tomorrow will be very important, the last training session, to understand the players we can count on,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor sure we have to try to make the best solution and not take big risks. If we take big risks and lose players for the rest of the games, it will be a disaster.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Arsenal lead the standings with 18 points after seven games but Spurs \u2014 a point behind in third \u2014 can take top spot with a victory at the Emirates Stadium where they have not won a league game since 2010.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cArsenal have had a fantastic start, they\u2019ve lost only one game\u2026 They\u2019re showing they are a really good team. In the summer they made good signings,\u201d Conte said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI know the quality of this team, they\u2019ve worked with (manager Mikel) Arteta for many years. They are really well organised.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cArteta is a really good coach, he\u2019s young but he can have a great career.\u201d<\/p>\n<p> (Reporting by Rohith Nair in Bengaluru; Editing by Ken Ferris)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/uncategorized\/soccer-tottenhams-conte-mum-on\/attachment\/file-photo-premier-league-tottenham-hotspur-v-leicester-city\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/tagreuters.com2022binary_LYNXMPEI8S0XN-BASEIMAGE.jpg\" alt=\"tagreuters.com2022binary_LYNXMPEI8S0XN-BASEIMAGE\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LONDON (Reuters) \u2013 This season\u2019s gruelling schedule has already begun to take its toll at Tottenham Hotspur with players sidelined due to injuries and any more in October could have<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":66,"featured_media":1889346,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1664497","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","fifu_finder_url":"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/sports\/soccer-tottenhams-conte-mum-on\/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=soccer-tottenhams-conte-mum-on","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1664497","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/66"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1664497"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1664497\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1889346"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1664497"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1664497"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1664497"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
