Who is Matthew Craig? The 19-year-old midfielder spotted in Tottenham Hotspur training

Spurs head into their crucial Champions League tie against Marseille on Tuesday night, with Antonio Conte facing a range of selection problems ahead of one of the biggest fixtures of his tenure so far.

The Italian looks unlikely be able to call upon some of his biggest stars, with Christian Romero, Dejan Kulusevski and Richarlison all missing Monday's open training session. One player who was present is 19-year-old midfielder Matthew Craig, with the academy graduate being called to train with the first team.

He will be a name which may be familiar to Spurs fans but not recently, having not made a matchday squad so far this season. He was called up to the matchday squad by Nuno Espirito Santo for two Europa Conference League fixtures last season, in addition to making the bench five times in the Premier League under Antonio Conte.
