Ally Gold has quoted Destiny Udogie as saying that he is "yet to hear" from Conte. I have to say, that's a bit off. Only reinforces the view that he wasn't a Conte signing and that our manager really isn't remotely interested in developing young players.
While I agree Conte clearly doesn’t have a lot of time for the youth, surely it’s Paratici’s job to do this sort of thing?
It's Paratici's job to keep close and constant tabs on our players out on loan, especially those he personally signed. But is it beneath Conte to text a simple 'best of luck, do us proud' message at the beginning of the season, or a quick 'well done on a good performance' after a good game?

Sergio Reguilon wasn't in the squad for Atletico Madrid's 2-1 win over Betis Giovani Lo Celso was an unused sub in Villarreal's 2-1 win over Almeria.

Obviously... Dane Scarlett played 80 minutes in Portsmouth's 1-1 draw with Shrewsbury
Giovani Lo Celso was subbed off in Viillarreal's 1-0 loss to Bilbao after 25 minutes, so it's not just us who bring players back from injury too soon... Destiny Udogie played 90 minutes in Udinese's 0-0 draw with Cremonese Joe Rodon was an unused sub in Rennes' 3-0 win over Montpellier
