Former Everton captain Phil Neville has slammed Chelsea over their loan policy.
Neville says the Italian's reluctance to promote starlets means they have not option but to leave west London on loan though.
He told BBC Radio 5 Live: "They [Chelsea youngsters] have to go out on loan because Conte's coming out and saying they've only got 11 players.
"If you were the Under-23s manager or you were part of the squad that played in the Champions League, Youth League today, you'd be thinking: 'I've got no future at this football club. If he's saying they've only got 11 players, give me a chance!'
"That's what [Ruben] Loftus-Cheek, [Nathaniel] Chalobah and Lewis Baker and all these players that are playing for England youth teams and winning tournaments for Chelsea - FA Youth Cups. They're saying: 'Give us a chance'.
"They won't. And, to be a fair, it's a disgrace. They should close their academy, Chelsea."
