Ryan Sessegnon has admitted it was 'devastating' to suffer a hamstring injury during what he describes as his best spell at Tottenham.

The young English wing-back made himself Antonio Conte's first choice left-back during February before going down against Everton at the start of March.

Now back in the first-team fold, Sessegnon is focused on regaining his spot from Sergio Reguilon.

"lt was devastating. I felt good in that period of games," said the wing-back in the club's matchday programme. "From the City game especially, going there after having been subbed off in the first half against Wolves, it sort of showed the mental side which I have to my game where l can put disappointment away and use it as a positive to go on and try to play well.

"Obviously, the run started with that City game, and the games after that were obviously good because we got a lot of wins and produced positive performances. And I went on to play six games in a row which is obviously my longest run since being at the club.

"I felt strong, but then it was the unfortunate situation of the injury happening. It's then the mental side again of how to keep going and learn from certain things, obviously, with an injury. You can't really prevent it. It is just how you react to it, and that's what I'm trying to do now!"
