Oliver Skipp has stated that he now feels "100 per cent" after making his first Tottenham start since January. A key part of Antonio Conte's midfield before he missed the final four months of last campaign with a pubis injury which resulted in him going under the knife, the 22-year-old returned in pre-season only to sustain a hairline fracture in his heel.
Despite making his return to the Tottenham squad at the end of August, the midfielder had to make do with minutes here and there from the substitutes' bench before the head coach handed him a start against Newcastle on Sunday.
One of Tottenham's standout performers on a disappointing day after impressing in his midfield role and showing some real purpose when he was on the ball, Skipp still feels that he could have performed better, which in turn will only benefit Conte's team once he reaches his very best.
