Tottenham defender Sessegnon confirms new hamstring setback

Tottenham defender Ryan Sessegnon has announced a new injury setback.

The left-sided wing-back has been restricted to just seven minutes of first-team football. He had surgery on his left hamstring this summer before suffering an injury to the right hamstring in January.

Sessegnon posted on social media: "I've been down this road before. I'll pick myself up, stay head strong and begin my recovery in the best way possible.

"Having been through an operation and the recovery on my other hamstring last year, and knowing how strong that hamstring is now, I know this is the best solution to put an end to the reoccurring issues."

He added: "Speaking on behalf of anyone who's been in this situation, please be careful what you say online. Words hurt and no-one chooses to be in this position."
