Four Romero replacements
Cristian Romero will be out for at least three weeks as the Argentine suffers a damaging injury, and Antonio Conte will now have to replace one of his key players in the early weeks of the season.
Spurs have signed Clement Lenglet to cover at the back this season and he is one of four options that the manager has to fill in at the back.
Conte's Udogie verdict
Conte has labelled new summer signing Destiny Udogie as "a player for the future," with the defender now going back out on loan again to former club Udinese this season.
Speaking at his pre-match press conference ahead of the Wolves game on Saturday, Conte also said, "I think he is a good prospect for Tottenham because we are talking about a young player. For sure this player needs to develop like Spence and in my opinion a good investment for the club. Now he continues to play in this season with Udinese and in this way he has the possibility to play regularly."
