Tottenham Hotspur confirmed on Tuesday that summer addition Ryan Sessegnon will miss their Champions League clash with Olympiacos on Monday night having suffered a setback in his comeback from a hamstring injury, as his wait to make his debut goes on.

What's the word, then?

Well, Spurs signed the 19-year-old in a deal that could eventually total £30m last month, but he is yet to be involved for the north London outfit having picked up an injury while on international duty with the England U21s during the summer.

Football London reported that it was thought the teenager would be back in first-team training during the international break ahead of the trip to Greece, but instead the club say the former Fulham man will be absent having reported irritation with his previous hamstring issue.

Cruel blow

With Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino openly admitting he is ready to rotate his team for this European clash – and with Danny Rose left behind in England – this looked to be the perfect opportunity for the left-sided Sessegnon to be named in the matchday squad for the first time, and potentially get on the pitch to make his debut.

However, just as he looked to be making good progress the irritation he has suffered with his hamstring means that now can't happen, and his wait to make his bow for Spurs goes on.
