Tottenham currently find themselves 1-0 down against AC Milan in the Champions League round of 16 first leg at San Siro. Spurs' midfield options have been significantly weakened in the past week with Rodrigo Bentancur, Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg and Yves Bissouma all suffering injuries.
Bentancur is set to miss the remainder of the season with an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury whilst Bissouma could miss a number of weeks with an ankle injury. The injuries Antonio Conte is faced with left him with no choice but to start Oliver Skipp and Pape Matar Sarr against Milan in Italy.
Hugo Lloris is another of those to be absent through injury meaning Fraser Forster has started the last few games for the Lilywhites. Brahim Diaz opened the scoring for the Italian outfit in the first half with Spurs pushing to find an equaliser in the second half.
