Ryan Sessegnon admits he can’t go at 100% in every Tottenham training session
Tottenham 21-year-old Ryan Sessegnon is managing his fitness issues to try and be fit for every game under Antonio Conte.
In an interview with , the Englishman shared the steps he is taking to get to grips with his own body and be as available as he can be.
Antonio Conte said last month: “I think that there is a predisposition [for Sessegnon] to have this type of problem and especially muscular problems.
“He’s very strong physically. Sometimes maybe to be so strong physically, instead of being good for your body, sometimes it can be a problem.”
Sessegnon responded: “Definitely it is something that I have to manage because I am at a stage where… coming through when I was a bit younger at Fulham, I had no injuries.
“And then I’m at Spurs now and I’ve had a few problems but as I’m getting older, I need to start managing the intensity of training, the way I train.
“Obviously under Conte, the training is intense anyway but it is about being a bit more mature and smart in certain sessions here and there, not going 100% — that’s just my nature and the way I play.
“It is just knowing your body, being smart and trying to be available every game. So going forward I’m trying to learn these things.”
We often hear about older players needing to manage their body better or getting to know more about their fitness issues with experience.
Most 21-year-olds probably just want to bound around, playing and training as hard and as often as they can.
But when injuries have hit to the extent they have with Sessegnon, being careful makes sense because he is in a good moment under Conte and he does not want another setback.
