Tottenham revealed on Friday morning that Japhet Tanganga's knee injury will now keep him out for the remainder of the 2021/22 season. The statement revealed that the 22-year-old had to have surgery on his injury and he will now have to begin his recovery before his return.
Tanganga had been battling for a spot in Antonio Conte's regular XI, playing in the back three and as a right wing-back. The defender's last Premier League appearance was in the 2-0 defeat to Chelsea in January and he has been absent ever since, alongside Oliver Skipp.
Conte is always asked about injury problems in his squad ahead of games and the defender has been included on that list for almost two months now. However, the Italian has never revealed the full extent or time frame as to when Tanganga would be able to make his return.
