Antonio Conte has stated that he hopes to have Oliver Skipp back after this month's international break. Not featuring for Tottenham since their league defeat against Chelsea in January due to a groin issue, the midfielder's return has dragged on much longer than the head coach would have liked.
Skipp's absence has limited the Italian to just having Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, Rodrigo Bentancur, Harry Winks and Harvey White as his current midfield options at such a crucial time in the season. However, the return of the highly-rated youngster will give everyone a huge boost if he can take to the pitch after the international break.
"About Skippy, I hope to have him after the international break. His pain it seems is getting better and better," said the Spurs boss.
