Antonio Conte admits he is worried about Lucas Moura's injury as football.london understands the Brazilian suffered a new setback this week after returning to training for Tottenham Hotspur.
The 30-year-old has not featured for Spurs since August, having suffered inflammation in his tendon, leaving Conte without the experienced attacker in the Premier League and Champions League. Lucas has had good and bad days with the pain, but was on the way back and had trained most of this week after seeming to have recovered during the international break.
However, in training ahead of the North London Derby, football.london understands that Lucas suffered a setback on the pitches at Spurs' Hotspur Way training complex. The Brazilian has since been unable to train and Conte is concerned over when he might be available for selection again, particularly during this frantic run of 13 matches in 43 days ahead of the winter World Cup, a run of games that began with Saturday's 3-1 defeat at Arsenal.
