Tottenham Hotspur head coach Antonio Conte has told Football.London that Sergio Reguilon will not play against Leicester City this weekend.

Spurs will take on Leicester at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in the Premier League on Sunday.

Tottenham boss Conte has said that left-back Reguilon has a groin injury and will not be able to take to the pitch against Leicester.

The Spain international, who has been playing as a left-back under Conte at Tottenham this season, was an unused substitute against Brentford.

Reguilon had suffered an injury earlier in the month, but £28 million (talkSPORT) player seemed to have recovered, but Conte has said that the former Real Madrid player is injured again.

Antonio Conte on Tottenham’s Sergio Reguilon

Conte told Football.London: “Reguilon is not available. It’s a groin pain and he’s not available.”

Blow

In our opinion, Reguilon not playing against Tottenham is a blow for the left-back.

The Spaniard has done well at left wing-back under Conte, and he will surely want to end the season on a high.

It is not easy for players to do well when they do not get an extended run in the team and suffer injuries in quick succession.

The 25-year-old has made 22 starts and three substitute appearances in the Premier League for Spurs so far this season.

Reguilon has scored two goals and given three assists in those matches.
