Antonio Conte will deal with Tanguy Ndombele 'in private' after he was booed in FA Cup tie

While stopping short of publicly berating Tanguy Ndombele, Antonio Conte admitted that the Frenchman must 'own his gestures'.

Ndombele was booed while trudging off during Tottenham's FA Cup win over Morcambe, taking an age to get to the sidelines with Spurs 1-0 down at the time.

At Tuesday's press conference ahead of Wednesday's Carabao Cup semi-final second leg, the manager said: 'Honestly, I think it’s not right to speak about this type of situation.

'I think everyone is the owner of his gestures, you understand? I don’t want to speak about this situation.

'I repeat, I don’t like to speak about a player in front of the media. This is not fair.

'If I have to tell him something or do something to him, I’ll do this in a private way. Not in front of the media. This is not right.'
