Sports‘Understand’ - Alasdair Gold now shares bad news for Tottenham supporters
Alasdair Gold has shared some bad news for Tottenham Hotspur supporters involving midfielder and homegrown sensation Oliver Skipp amid his recent injury woes.
The Lowdown: Skipp setbacks…
The 21-year-old, who recently put pen to paper on fresh terms with the club, hasn’t been able to contribute for manager Antonio Conte since late January due to ongoing fitness issues.
Skipp’s last minutes for Spurs came during a 2-0 Premier League defeat to Chelsea in the first month of 2022 with his pelvic injury keeping him sidelined.
The Englishman has suffered setbacks in his return to action since, coming as a source of real frustration for Conte, who has remained in the dark over his starlet’s recovery timeframe.
After the Lilywhites confirmed brilliant news of his new contract, Gold has now shared a damning update on Skipp and his injury, coming as the player himself admits it’s been a real problem.
The Latest: Gold shares Skipp update…
The reliable football.london correspondent, taking to Twitter, says that he’s still no closer to returning to Conte’s starting eleven.
Sharing an update on his recovery, in response to Skipp’s official reaction to signing fresh terms, Gold explained:
“Understand he’s not closer to a return yet.”
The Verdict: Bad news…
The promising youngster’s continued availability delay will come as bad news for both Conte and supporters as Spurs fight to finish in the Premier League top four.
Currently locked in a fierce battle for Champions League qualification with north London rivals Arsenal, Tottenham will need any quality at their disposal to come out on top.
According to WhoScored, no Spurs starter has averaged a higher pass accuracy than Skipp (90.1%) in the top flight this season, backing his real composure and assurance in Conte’s midfield.
Tipped as a future club captain, those inside and outside N17 will be hoping he can return to the grass as soon as possible.
