Tottenham Hotspur have received a boost ahead of the resumption of the Premier League season with Sky Sports reporting that Ryan Sessegnon could be available for this weekend’s clash with Leeds United.

It looks set to be a crucial period for Sessegnon at Tottenham Hotspur Hotspur. He, of course, spent last season out on loan at Hoffenheim.

Unfortunately, any hope of forcing his way into Nuno Espirito Santo’s plans was derailed due to a hamstring injury. He was not named in a match day squad following the 1-0 win over Watford in August.

As noted by Sky Sports, he suffered the injury while away on international duty with England’s under-21s.

But it now appears that he is nearly available for selection again. Sky Sports reports that he will return to full training this week.

It is hoped that he could be available for Sunday’s game against Leeds.

Conte appointment could be a game-changer for Ryan Sessegnon at Tottenham

Spurs fans are still waiting for Sessegnon to realise his potential. He has only made 14 appearances since signing for £25 million in 2019.

Some may even be tempted to write him off. But the arrival of Conte could easily prove to be a game-changer for the 21-year-old.

He has potentially moved up the pecking order due to Conte’s system. It would appear that Ben Davies may be more of a centre-back, leaving Sessegnon to battle with Sergio Reguilon at wing-back.

It may not happen immediately for Sessegnon at Tottenham. But his time will come if he keeps himself in the mix.
