Antonio Conte has provided a negative injury update for Tottenham’s Lucas Moura this afternoon, revealing that the winger is still struggling with the same problem.

The Brazilian has been plagued with a calf problem since the start of the new campaign, leaving Conte without all of his attacking options from the get-go.
And it appears Moura is not close to a recovery either, after he remained absent for all three of Tottenham’s friendly matches against Motherwell, Peterborough U21s, and Nice.
Conte has revealed that they are struggling to find a solution for the winger, which is frustrating because the Spurs boss clearly wants to use Moura, by the sounds of things.
He said (Football London): “About Lucas Moura, we didn’t have him from the start of the season. And we are continuing to not have him. He has this problem, he is struggling a lot to find a solution.
“For sure it’s a difficult situation. Because I have a good player in my squad, but he’s never available. It’s like you don’t have him. It’s a pity because I repeat: we are talking about a good player, a good guy, but he is struggling a lot to solve this problem.
“I don’t know, I don’t know what in the future happens about him.”
Spurs Web Opinion:
The whole point of Tottenham reinforcing their front line with Richarlison in the summer was to give Conte all these attacking options. Kane, Son, Kulusevski, Richarlison, Moura, Perisic… but the truth is that three of these have been in and out of the side with injuries, which is less than ideal.
