Tottenham boss Postecoglou delivers Sessegnon update

Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou says Ryan Sessegnon is back on the training pitch.

The wing-back has had an injury-plagued season so far.

Postecoglou said: "He's back training, that's the first thing. Now he's got to put together a body of work together in training and then we'll assess it from there. This is his first week with us. Like I said, with Sess it's about getting a body of work together - to give him confidence and us confidence that his body will be good. So far this week he's trained well, done everything that's been asked of him, and I hope that continues.

"He's no different from anyone else, I want them all to be out there, want them all to be available. He's no different. Obviously he's gone through a tough time. But there's no point me putting any extra pressure on him.

"He knows his biggest hurdle is being out there for a prolonged time. He has had a false start when we put him out there a few weeks back because we had a few injuries. Like I said with Sess, it's about him getting a body of work together. And then he'll feel better and confident about taking an opportunity."
