OLIVER SKIPP NEWS

Back for preseason Skipp started Wednesday's friendly against the K League, returning from groin surgery underwent in April.

Impact Skipp started 14 matches last season but last made the pitch for Tottenham in January. Unfortunately for him, Spurs have added Rodrigo Bentancur and Yves Bissouma since he was last healthy and while they now have Champions League to deal with, there's a chance he could be the fifth midfield option for the team.

Out remainder of season Skipp underwent groin surgery in America and will miss the remainder of the season.

Impact This isn't too surprising for Skipp, who had been taking a long time in his return from a groin injury. He opened the season as a regular, but this injury derailed that in late January, in addition to the signing of Rodrigo Bentancur. Still, he finishes the season with 14 starts (18 appearances), a success when considering his prior minimal role at the club.

Extends Spurs contract Skipp has signed a new contract with Tottenham that will keep him at the club until 2027.

Impact Skipp has been out since January with a groin injury, but his play early in the season was enough to keep him on. His bigger role this season was somewhat surprising, resulting in 14 league starts after helping Norwich get promoted last season while on loan. The question is what his role will be now that Rodrigo Bentancur is a regular in the midfield.

Impact Sidelined for the club's last nine contests, Skipp will need to miss at least one more before getting a chance to rejoin the squad. On the year, the midfielder has featured in 14 of his 18 appearances and should be in contention for a spot in the starting XI once given the all-clear.

Impact Skipp will miss his ninth consecutive contest when Spurs face West Ham United on Sunday. Still, the fact that the midfielder is nearing a return to training could clear the way for him to rejoin the squad versus Newcastle United on April 3. Once back to full fitness, Skipp should be a regular in the starting XI moving forward.

Remains unavailable Skipp (groin) will once again be absent against Everton on Monday.

Impact Considering Skipp has been on the shelf since Jan. 23 versus Chelsea, the midfielder should probably be considered out indefinitely. Whenever Skipp is cleared to return, he should be in contention for a spot in the starting XI but won't offer more than mid-range fantasy value.

Not ready to return yet Skipp (groin) remains out for Saturday's clash against Leeds United.

Impact Skipp has missed the entire month of February with a groin injury, and he will be out Saturday as well. Spurs manager Antonio Conte said Friday that he's improving his recovery, but that he's still not ready yet.

Impact It sounds like Skipp will miss another week of matches unless he can get back in full training soon. He'll miss his fourth-straight match Wednesday against Burnley and even when ready to return, it's unknown what his role will be. He has 15 league starts this season, but the addition of Rodrigo Bentancur will likely cut into playing time.

Impact Skipp has started three of the last six matches for the club in which he generated two shots (zero on target), four crosses (one accurate) and seven tackles (four won). Once cleared to play, the midfielder should reclaim his spot in the starting XI and should serve as a decent mid-range fantasy option.

To miss FA Cup contest Skipp is dealing with a groin problem that will sideline him versus Brighton on Saturday.

Impact In 19 appearances (15 starts) this season, Skipp has generated just four shots (one on target), six crosses (two accurate) and eight chances created. Given his limited offensive upside, the midfielder should be considered a mid-range fantasy target at best once cleared to return to action.

Impact Skipp has held onto his starting spot under Antonio Conte, but a fifth yellow card will see him suspended for the next league contest. In his absence, Conte has a few options in the midfield with Harry Winks being a logical replacement because of position, but Giovani Lo Celso or Tanguy Ndombele could both enter the XI, as well.
