Antonio Conte made it clear at the end of August that he would have to rest Harry Kane at some point in the weeks ahead due to Tottenham's hectic schedule. Facing games every three days, the matches keep on coming thick and fast for the Lilywhites ahead of next month's World Cup.
Six games are on the calendar before domestic football goes on pause, with two per week for Spurs over the next 21 days. An ideal opportunity to maybe give Kane the breather he needs after playing in all 16 games of their season so far, that may be easier said than done for the head coach.
Speaking ahead of the Nottingham Forest fixture at the end of August, which was the start of seven games in such a short space of time, Conte admitted that he would have to drop Tottenham's No.10 out of the starting XI in that period in order to keep him fresh and not push him too much.
