Taking to Twitter, reliable reporter Alasdair Gold has been blown away by an Oliver Skipp development coming out of Tottenham Hotspur.

The Lowdown: Skipp injury worries...

The Lilywhites midfielder has been sidelined since early February with a groin injury, with his last Premier League appearance coming in a 2-0 defeat at Chelsea in late January (Transfermarkt).

Skipp has been a big miss for Antonio Conte, who has voiced his frustration over the delayed return of the midfield ace, opening up to the press over his real worry.

Tottenham had previously been unable to put a timeframe on the 21-year-old's convalescence but, as relayed by Gold, Conte now hopes to have Skipp back after the international break, with his condition getting 'better and better'.

The Latest: Gold blown away...

Sharing the Spurs manager's confirmation of the update about Skipp (and a corresponding football.london article) via Twitter, Gold has been left blown away, simply stating 'finally' as he shares the 'good' news.

He explained: "Finally some good Oliver Skipp news."

The Verdict: Brilliant development...

Having Skipp back for the final run of Premier League matches will be a big boost as the Lilywhites chase a place in the top four and qualification for next season's Champions League.

According to WhoScored, Skipp has averaged a higher pass accuracy (90.1%) than any Spurs player domestically this season, standing out as a composed and assured figure in midfield.

As Tottenham look to end the 2021/22 campaign on a high amid some speculation over Conte's future, this development certainly comes as a much-needed boost, and it's safe to say that Spurs supporters will be thrilled.
