Expert fumes as Sergio Reguilon tipped to be axed for Tottenham v Brentford
Ryan Sessegnon could replace Sergio Reguilon in the Tottenham starting XI when they face Brentford on Saturday.
That is according to Spurs insider John Wenham, who regularly breaks news about the club on his Lilywhite Rose social media channels
Tottenham travel to the Brentford Community Stadium for Saturday’s (23 April) late kick-off.
They are looking to get their hunt for a top-four finish back on track after losing to Brighton last weekend (16 April).
Reguilon, 25, came in for that game after Matt Doherty was ruled out for the season after sustaining an injury against Aston Villa (9 April).
Wenham claims Sessegnon, 21, could replace him after the Spaniard produced “absolutely nothing” against Brighton.
“Conte might bring Sessegnon in for Reguilon,” Wenham told Football Insider correspondent Ben Wild.
“Reguilon did absolutely nothing against Brighton and Conte did give Sessegnon a little run of games before he got injured.
“For me, there is nothing between those two players for me. I think that will probably be the only change.
“If we win and results go our way this weekend we could be in a very decent prediction.
“It’s really annoying that we couldn’t get that win against Brighton because we would be in a really good position in our hunt for the top four.”
Tottenham will play knowing the outcome of Saturday’s early kick-off between top-four rivals Man United and Arsenal.
Spurs currently occupy fourth position though that will change if the Gunners win.
