Tottenham Hotspur head coach Antonio Conte has told Football.London that Ryan Sessegnon will not play against Jesse Marsch’s Leeds United this weekend.
Antonio Conte’s Tottenham will lock horns with Marsch’sL eeds at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon.
Ahead of the game in North London, Conte has said that Spurs will be without Sessegnon, who can play as a left-back, left-winger or left wing-back.
The former Chelsea and Inter Milan boss has said that the £25 million (BBC Sport) player has “a little problem”.
Antonio Conte on Ryan Sessegnon for Tottenham v Leeds
Conte said: “About Sessegnon, today he didn’t train with us. He had a little problem and he’s not available for tomorrow’s game.
“Richarlison and Kulusevski have another training session before we decide about the starting XI.”
Bouncing back
Tottenham Hotspur suffered a defeat to Nottingham Forest in the Carabao Cup in midweek, and Antonio Conte will be determined for his side to bounce back with a win against Leeds United in the Premier League this weekend.
Leeds have been doing well in the Premier League in recent weeks, and Spurs will find the West Yorkshire club a handful even at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
We think that Tottenham will win the match against the Whites, but the North London club have to start the game strongly.
Spurs simply cannot let Leeds go 2-0 up and then try to score three goals.
We saw against Liverpool how good Spurs were in the second half, but they were really poor in the first 45 minutes.
