Tottenham boss Antonio Conte admits he's been talking with Dejan Kulusevski about his playing chances.
The Sweden attacker is battling to force his way into Conte's starting XI.
Conte said, "It is clear that it was difficult for me to bench Deki three games in a row. I don't like giving explanations to my players, because then I have to talk to one, and another, and then another in every game. I think the most important thing is to have respect for the role.
"At the same time, I have spoken to Deki. Because I think he deserves to feel my trust, my trust after three games in a row on the bench. But it was just a tactical decision because I want three strikers in 'Richy', 'Sonny' and Harry.
"Deki is not a striker, he is a number ten. It was just for that."
