Antonio Conte confirms that Oliver Skipp, Japhet Tanganga and Sergio Reguilon are all expected to miss Wednesday's Premier League encounter with Burnley.

Tottenham Hotspur boss Antonio Conte has confirmed that the Lilywhites are set to be without three players for Wednesday's Premier League encounter with Burnley.

Spurs' 3-2 win at the home of champions Manchester City at the weekend means that the gap to the top four now stands at seven points, although they have three games in hand over Manchester United.

Eric Dier has made his return to the backline, but Oliver Skipp (groin) and Japhet Tanganga (knee) are still struggling with their injuries, and Sergio Reguilon contracted COVID-19 before the Etihad victory.

Conte has now issued updates on the trio, telling reporters at his pre-game press conference: "Skipp and Tanganga, they are recovering. They're not ready, they're still not ready for the game against Burnley," as quoted by football.london.

"Sergio, in the training session yesterday he wasn't present and we'll see today. I think the situation is the same after the last game. We hope they can all recover soon."

Conte also confirmed that Harry Kane is fine after fears of an injury scare at Man City and joked that the England captain would need to keep playing with "one leg".
