Sarr and Skipp step up
An awful lot can change in the space of a week in the world of football. Fresh from beating Man City 1-0 with a fully-fit squad, Antonio Conte's Tottenham team have been hit by a host of injuries to key players including the likes of Hugo Lloris and Rodrigo Bentancur.
The Uruguayan's absence has left Tottenham short in midfield for the remainder of the campaign, with Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg's one-match suspension compounding Conte's misery when it came to naming an XI to face AC Milan in their Champions League Round of 16 clash. As expected, inexperienced duo Oliver Skipp and Pape Matar Sarr were given the nod in midfield as the head coach elected against pushing Eric Dier forward from his centre-back role due to a lack of time since Saturday's 4-1 humbling at Leicester City.
