Antonio Conte has claimed he honestly does not know the latest on Oliver Skipp’s injury, adding that it is the first time in his career he has been without such information.

The Spurs boss has revealed that no one from the medical department has told him Skipp is ready to return and ‘they are really frustrated’ with the situation.

This comes after Conte appeared to take a dig at his own medical team earlier this month, claiming they should do their own press conferences because it is too easy for them to not say anything (Guardian).

However, The Guardian also reported that Skipp himself does not blame the medical department, even if he does share his head coach’s frustration about the injury.

Conte labelled Skipp as a ‘really good guy’ in his press conference today, but laughed off a question about his injury situation as the Italian seemingly remains as in the dark as the fans.

He said (Football London): “(Laughs) I’m sorry but I can’t answer this one either. This is the first time I have had a situation where I don’t know.

“He’s a player we need, but at this moment no one tried to tell me the moment he is ready. Also for the player, they are really frustrated, he is young and a really good guy.”

Spurs Web Opinion:

Skipp is a huge miss in the engine room, especially when Tottenham are having to play midweek games as Conte doesn’t have too many options to rotate at the moment. Hopefully, we see him back soon because he is already a game-changer in this Spurs set-up.
