Oliver Skipp's freak Tottenham injury and Antonio Conte's big plans for Spurs' season ahead

Tottenham Hotspur are now in their final stage of preparations for their Premier League opener against Southampton on Saturday afternoon.

Spurs completed their pre-season fixtures with a 1-0 defeat to Jose Mourinho's Roma in Israel on Saturday evening, following up the victory against Team K-League and draw against Sevilla in South Korea and the win against Rangers in Glasgow. The players have also been worked hard on the pitches at Hotspur Way and across the world as Antonio Conte aims to get his squad in peak physical condition for the long season ahead.

Tottenham have brought in six new signings for Conte so far and the Italian has been integrating Ivan Perisic, Fraser Forster, Yves Bissouma, Richarlison, Clement Lenglet and Djed Spence into his philosophy and those high fitness demands.
