There probably isn’t a question in the world that would annoy Tottenham Hotspur boss Antonio Conte more than, ‘when will Oliver Skipp return from his injury?’

The young Englishman was initially ruled out for a week after suffering a groin problem back in January. It has been over two months now and he’s still not fit, which is extremely frustrating.

At the start of last month, a furious Conte hit out at his medical department when asked about Skipp’s injury. He claimed that his club’s doctors should be put in front of the media to answer questions because it’s ‘too easy’ for them to work without being quizzed by journalists. ()

Thankfully for Conte, Spurs fans and even their medical team, it looks like they finally know when Skipp will be back.

When will Tottenham star Oliver Skipp return from his injury?

The Athletic revealed a couple of weeks ago that Skipp suffered an infection in his pelvic area after receiving an injection from the doctors to help him recover from his initial groin injury.

It was claimed then that there’s no fixed date earmarked for his return, but it looks like Spurs’ doctors now know when he should be back in action.

claim this week that Skipp is improving well and has even started working outside now. He’s yet to join in with the first team, but the club’s medical staff believe he should get there in just two weeks’ time.

That means he should be back by the time Spurs face Brighton and Hove Albion at home in the Premier League.

Tottenham are currently fifth in the Premier League table, three points behind Arsenal despite playing a game more than Mikel Arteta’s side.

That puts them at a slight disadvantage in the race for the top four, but Skipp’s return from injury for the business end of the season is a timely boost for Conte’s men.

The Athletic claim that insiders at Tottenham are really excited about the prospect of seeing a midfield partnership of Skipp and January signing Rodrigo Bentancur.

The duo haven’t played together just yet, but if Skipp’s back in two weeks, don’t be surprised to see Conte pair them up right away.
