Antonio Conte has delivered a fresh injury update on his Tottenham squad, ahead of their first game of the 2022/23 Premier League season. Spurs' first fixture sees them welcome Southampton to N17 and Conte will hope his squad can get off to a positive start.
Throughout pre-season, the Lilywhites have had some injury issues. After Tottenham's final friendly against Roma, Conte seemed positive about most of his squad's fitness, but did pick out two players who still have more work to do.
"First of all, the most important thing is that all the players, except Oliver Skipp, have trained and trained well," he explained. "In this moment we have two players, Ivan Perisic and [Matt] Doherty, they have to continue to work and reach the peak of fitness because after a long injury they are struggling a lot. We need to have patience."
