Tottenham Hotspur manager Antonio Conte has confirmed that none of Oliver Skipp, Japhet Tanganga or Ryan Sessegnon will return for Wednesday's Premier League clash with Brighton & Hove Albion.
Skipp and Tanganga have missed several weeks of action due to groin and knee injuries respectively, with Conte recently admitting that he was "really worried" about the former's condition.
Sessegnon, meanwhile, picked up a muscular problem in the 5-0 thrashing of Everton earlier this month, and Conte is seemingly not set to welcome the trio back to the fold anytime soon.
When asked for a team news update at his pre-match press conference, Conte said: "No, no news. The same players available for the game against Brighton as for [Manchester] United," as quoted by football.london.
Elaborating on Skipp's issue, Conte added: "This is the first time I have had a situation where I don't know. He's a player we need, but at this moment no one tried to tell me the moment he is ready. Also for the players, they are really frustrated, he is young and a really good guy."
Tottenham have dropped to eighth in the table after defeat to Manchester United - six points behind fourth-placed Arsenal having played a game more than their North London rivals.
