Tottenham midfielder Oliver Skipp has suffered an injury setback while with England U21.

Skipp hobbled out of England Under 21s' win over Kosovo on Tuesday night.

Skipp has started all three Premier League games this season in the heart of the Spurs midfield alongside Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg having made an early impression on new boss Nuno Espirito Santo, playing a key role to help the team make a perfect start and rise to the top of the table.

It is the second injury concern for the club after key man Son Heung-min suffered a calf blow while playing for South Korea.

Skipp had an issue with his groin just eight minutes from the end of the game, with England U21 boss Lee Carlsey admitting medical staff were applying ice to the area after some "stiffness" following the 2-0 win.

"I saw him on the treatment table with ice on his groin," said Carsley. "He said there was a bit of stiffness there. We should know more tomorrow but Oli's a robust player."
