Oliver Skipp makes everything a learning experience - even when things are not going his way - and this season has been another instructional one so far for the young Tottenham midfielder.
After making a great start to Spurs' last campaign, following on from a Championship-winning loan at Norwich, Skipp established himself as a regular under first Nuno Espirito Santo and then Antonio Conte at just 21-years-old. However, timing has not been the England U21 international's greatest ally as a problematic pelvic injury, first suffered in October 2021, grew more and more painful until he had to stop and get treatment for it in January.
In that same month Tottenham signed three-time Serie A winner Rodrigo Bentancur from Juventus and the Uruguayan starred alongside Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg as Skipp remained out and eventually required surgery towards the end of the campaign. During that time the youngster made the most of his spell on the sidelines by sitting in on every one of Conte's tactical meetings, absorbing everything he needed to know for when he returned.
