There's a light at the end of the tunnel for Oliver Skipp when it comes to his awkward pelvic problem.
Injuries or ailments are always frustrating for footballers but the 21-year-old's issue is perhaps worse because it's in a rather sensitive part of the body. The problem for the Spurs midfielder has come with his pubis symphysis, a joint in the pelvic area. It's been a painful one and it's through no fault of his own, just something that can occur through a heavy workload.
That has certainly come in the past 18 months or so. Last season, the then 20-year-old Skipp started 34 of Norwich's 36 matches as a vital part of their Championship title-winning side and he played almost every minute for them.
