Sessegnon returns
Tottenham's drab showing against Brighton & Hove Albion last Saturday resulted in Antonio Conte making a change to his XI to take on Brentford. Ryan Sessegnon was the man to come into the side as Sergio Reguilon dropped down to the bench, with the head coach revealing ahead of kick-off that the Spaniard is currently suffering with a groin problem.
Struggling to get a consistent run in the Tottenham team ever since his move from Fulham in August 2019 due to a number of injury issues, Sessegnon appeared to have made the position his own prior to sustaining a hamstring injury against Everton at the start of March. Despite returning to the squad a fortnight ago against Aston Villa, the 21-year-old's start at Brentford Community Stadium was in fact his first appearance since the win over the Toffees.
