Antonio Conte says Yves Bissouma, Matt Doherty and Oliver Skipp will be firmly in his plans as Tottenham players he can count on after the international break.
Bissouma was signed from Brighton in the summer as one of the best midfielders outside the established top six in recent seasons. However, he has made just one start this season for Conte since arriving and the Spurs head coach admitted this week that the 26-year-old has been "struggling with the tactical aspect" and needed to "pay more attention" to his defending.
Two other Tottenham players waiting for game time this season are right wing-back Matt Doherty and midfielder Oliver Skipp. The former is still trying to find his top gear after a knee injury ended last season prematurely for him and for the latter a hairline fracture in his heel after a freak training collision caused him a setback at the start of the campaign and now he is also trying to get back to peak sharpness.
