Tottenham Hotspur manager Antonio Conte provides team news ahead of the Brentford clash
Speaking in his pre-match press conference ahead of his side’s game against Brentford, as quoted by the club’s official website, Tottenham Hotspur manager Antonio Conte has provided some team news and claimed there are no further issues with the squad.
The Italian will be leading his side against Brentford tomorrow in an attempt to bounce back from their 1-0 loss to Brighton & Hove Albion at home, which threatened to derail their hopes of securing a top-four spot in the Premier League table.
Conte said that there was “no news, which is good news” when quizzed about any further injuries to the squad since the game against the Seagulls, which means that Spurs will be raring to go against the Bees tomorrow.
The Lilywhites sit in fourth place at the moment, on course to secure a UCL spot next season. However, they face heavy competition from Arsenal, Manchester United, and West Ham United for a place in the top four, which makes it almost necessary for them to beat Brentford.
“We have these three players out”
Ahead of the trip to Brentford’s new Community Stadium, Tottenham will be without long-term injury-afflicted stars Matt Doherty, Japhet Tanganga, and Oliver Skipp. While the two defenders have been ruled out for the season with knee injuries, Skipp is nursing a groin injury and remains sidelined.
Conte said that apart from these three players, there were no further injury updates to be given on the squad, which is good news for him ahead of the club’s first visit to the away ground.
“We have these three players out, and no further news, which is good news.”
