Antonio Conte’s hopes of having Oliver Skipp available for Tottenham’s run-in have been dealt a blow after the midfielder felt discomfort on his return to outdoor training.
Skipp trained individually on the grass on Monday and Tuesday, but was set to be back indoors today after reporting soreness in his pelvis.
Conte said last week that Skipp was “very, very close” to returning from a long-term pelvic injury, which has ruled him out since late January, with the head coach hopeful he could be back in full training by the end of this week.
Skipp is now certain to sit out Saturday’s visit to Aston Villa, with his potential return date still unclear.
