Football.London have revealed Oliver Skipp does not have a chance of being fit for Tottenham’s clash against Newcastle despite Antonio Conte’s statement to the contrary.
Skipp had arguably been Tottenham’s most consistent player this season until he went down with a pelvis injury at the start of February (Transfermarkt).
What seemed like an innocuous injury at first, has now kept the youngster out of action for nearly two months.
Although Rodrigo Bentancur and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg have done well as a partnership in the middle of the park, Conte will be keen to get the England Under-21 international back available as soon as possible.
Ahead of Tottenham’s clash against West Ham last week, the Tottenham boss said that Skipp’s pain was ‘getting better and better’ and that he is hopeful of having the midfielder back in action for the clash against Newcastle United (Football.London).
However, Football.London now claim that Conte might have got slightly carried away with his statement regarding the youngster’s fitness.
The report adds that Skipp is unlikely to be back to full fitness in time for Newcastle’s trip to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on April 3rd.
Spurs Web Opinion
Given that we have coped for two months without Skipp, there is no reason to rush him back now, particularly given the form of Bentancur and Hojbjerg. As important as the 21-year-old is to our engine room, I would prefer to see him come back after he has made a full recovery.
