Tottenham midfielder made the bench last night against Barcelona.
Cruel is one way to describe the injury blow suffered by Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Luke Amos.
Amos shone in pre-season for Spurs and was on the brink of the first team before suffering a torn ACL.
The Evening Standard report Amos was set to be included on the Tottenham bench last night prior to his injury, with injuries to first teamers Mousa Dembele and Dele Alli.
Oliver Skipp took that spot, and he is the clear beneficiary of Amos’ injury.
In football sentiment often takes a backseat and it is a case of ‘next man up’.
Skipp was just as impressive as Amos in pre-season for Tottenham on their US tour, but was considered below Amos in the pecking order as he was younger.
The youngster turned 18 just last month and simply to be on the bench for a Champions League game is a major step forward.
The circumstances of Amos’ injury makes it bittersweet for him, but he could have a big opportunity over the coming months to make an impact for the Tottenham first team.
