Clement Lenglet looks set to miss a huge clash against Chelsea in the Premier League on Sunday.
The France international defender has slight tightness in his adductor muscle and Antonio Conte suggested after training on Friday that he’s unlikely to take any risks when they face Chelsea.

Speaking to the club’s media, Conte also gave an update on Oliver Skipp who missed Spurs’ impressive 4-1 opening weekend win against Southampton with a foot injury picked up in training just ahead of their final pre-season match against AS Roma.
Antonio said: “The players have worked very well this week. We’ve only had a little problem with Clement Lenglet. Oliver Skipp, I think, in a couple of weeks he will come back and be able to work with us. The other players are really, really good.”

Asked about team news in his pre-match press conference, Antonio added: “We have a little problem with Clement Lenglet, I don’t think he’s available for the game against Chelsea. For sure, for the next game against Wolves. He has a little problem with fatigue, he’s a bit tight in his adductor, in the muscle, nothing serious but as a precaution it’s not good to take risks for one game. He’s having training sessions apart and it’s good for him to recover well, have good training sessions before coming back with us.”
