Spurs' opponent is still TBD but they'll certainly miss one of their stalwarts in the middle of the pitch. Look for Ryan Sessegnon and Yves Bissouma to be the main beneficiaries in his absence, provided they make the lineup.

All his touches were positive as he created plays from midfield and had the confidence to fire shots, which while off-target were dangerous efforts. From 12 appearances (all starts) he has scored three goals and produced two assists.
