Tottenham Hotspur manager Antonio Conte has ruled out allowing Oliver Skipp to miss the rest of the season.
The English midfielder is currently sidelined with a pelvic injury.
Asked if Skipp could be allowed to sit out the rest of the season, Conte said: "No, no, no, absolutely not, we have to recover him for this season. Full stop.
"This must be our target, for the medical department, for the player. It's totally different from Tanganga's situation. Japhet had a knee injury and was out for the season, but Skipp, no.
"It's important for the player to feel this possibility and there is this possibility to recover this season.
"Also we need him and we trust him He's a really good guy. I'm really sorry for him because he doesn't deserve this type of injury, but I repeat he has to recover this season and I push the medical department to recover him this season because we need him."
