Rodrigo Bentancur, Oliver Skipp, Japhet Tanganga: Latest Tottenham injury news ahead of Leeds

Tottenham wasted a wonderful opportunity to close the gap on fourth placed Manchester United after they lost 1-0 to Burnley on Wednesday evening.

Ben Mee scored the only goal of the game at Turf Moor as Spurs failed to build on Saturday’s sensational win at Manchester City.

The defeat leaves Antonio Conte’s side eighth in the Premier League, seven points behind United, although they do still have two games in hand over Ralf Rangnick’s side.

Spurs will be hopeful of bouncing back when they take on Leeds at Elland Road on Saturday lunchtime, and it could be the perfect time to play Marcelo Bielsa’s side after they lost 6-0 to Liverpool.

With all of this being said, football.london rounds up the very latest injury news ahead of the weekend's clash.

Oliver Skipp and Japhet Tanganga

Skipp didn’t feature in the defeat to Burnley and hasn’t figured for Spurs since January due to a groin injury.

Meanwhile, Tanganga has been out of action with a knee problem for the whole of February.

However, both players could be available for Saturday’s trip to Elland Road.

What has Conte said: "Skippy is improving, but still not ready. It’s the same for Japhet."

Possible return date: Leeds United (A) - February 26

Rodrigo Bentancur

The Uruguayan midfielder was replaced by Harry Winks at half time at Turf Moor, after he slipped awkwardly early in the game.

It's unclear if the injury which forced him off will also rule him out of the clash with Bielsa's side.

Possible return date: n/a
